Long ago, the great Frith made the world.
:00:19
He made all the stars...
:00:24
... and the world lived among the stars.
:00:34
Frith made all the animals and birds...
:00:37
... and, at first, made them all the same.
:00:40
Now, among the animals was El-ahrairah,
the Prince of Rabbits.
:00:48
He had many friends...
:00:52
... and they all ate grass together.
:00:55
After a time,
the rabbits wandered everywhere...
:00:58
... multiplied, eating as they went.
:01:07
Then, Frith said to El-ahrairah:
:01:09
"Prince Rabbit, if you cannot
control your people...
:01:14
"...I shall find ways to control them."
:01:17
El-ahrairah would not listen,
and said to Frith:
:01:20
"My people are the strongest in the world."
:01:25
This angered Frith, so he determined
to get the better of El-ahrairah.
:01:30
He gave a present
to every animal and bird...
:01:33
... making each one different from the rest.
:01:36
When the fox came,
and others like the dog and cat...
:01:41
... the hawk and weasel...
:01:46
... to each of them, Frith gave a desire
to hunt and slay the children of El-ahrairah.
