The Rabbit Goes Duck Hunting
The Rabbit was so boastful that he would claim to do what- ever he saw anyone else do, and so tricky that he could usually make the other animals believe it all. Once he pretended that he could swim in the water and eat fish just as the Otter did, and when the others told him to prove it he fixed up a plan so that the Otter himself was deceived.
Soon afterward they met again and the Otter said, "I eat ducks sometimes." Said the Rabbit, "Well, I eat ducks too." The Otter challenged him to try it; so they went up along the river until they saw several ducks in the water and managed to get near without being seen. The Rabbit told the Otter to go first. The Otter never hesitated, but dived from the bank and swam under water until he reached the ducks, when he pulled one down without being noticed by the others, and came back in the same way.
While the Otter had been under the water the Rabbit had peeled some bark from a sapling and made himself a noose. "Now," he said, "Just watch me;" and he dived in and swam a little way under the water until he was nearly choking and had to come up to the top to breathe. He went under again and came up again a little nearer to the ducks. He took another breath and dived under, and this time he came up among the ducks and threw the noose over the head of one and caught it. The duck struggled hard and finally spread its wings and flew up from the water with the Rabbit hanging on to the noose.
It flew on and on until at last the Rabbit could not hold on any longer, but had to let go and drop. As it happened, he fell into a tall, hollow sycamore stump without any hole at the bottom to get out from and there he stayed until he was so hungry that he had to eat his own fur, as the rabbit does ever since when he is starving. After several days, when he was very weak with hunger, he heard children playing outside around the trees. He began to sing:
Cut a door and look at me; I'm the prettiest thing you ever did see.
The children ran home and told their father, who came and began to cut a hole in the tree. As he chopped away the Rabbit inside kept singing, "Cut it larger, so you can see me better; I"m so pretty." They made the hole larger, and then the Rabbit told them to stand back so that they could take a good look as he came out. They stood away back, and the Rabbit watched his chance and jumped out and got away.

WE sure are! For the biggest, richest, strongest country in the world, we've been brought to our knees by a lone sniper! Deep doo doo, indeed!
We don't know what other messages this person has given to Moose. Possibly like "I know where you live and your children are not safe anywhere, anytime".
He/they have moose by the short hairs, somehow.
"The story tells of how young Peter ventures into a meadow (which his grandfather has made off-limits to him) and together with his animal friends (a bird, a cat and a duck) catches a wolf. He hands [the] captured wolf over to some hunters, and then all the characters of the story come together in the finale, where the wolf is taken to the zoo in a triumphant procession..."
"By now, Peter had made a noose with his rope, and very carefully he lowered it down. He slipped the noose over the wolf’s tail, and pulled it tight.
:The wolf, realising that he had been caught, leapt about furiously, trying to tear himself free.
"But Peter had tied the end of the rope to the tree. And each leap of the wolf only drew the noose tighter and tighter around his tail...
Above them all flew the little bird, chirping merrily, ‘See how clever we are, Peter and I. See what we have caught!’
"And if you listened very, very carefully, you could hear the duck, still quacking inside the wolf. For the wolf had been in such a hurry that he had swallowed her alive."

We're the wolf, I suppose, and islam is the duck which we are taking in whole, into our country.
If you get the answer to that one, maybe there's an answer for Mrs. Franklin the FBI agent. Right after Mark Furhman spoke on Fox that a LE hadn't been killed, she was the next victim the next day. One minute it seems random then methodically planned.
