It's from a Cherokee parable about a boastful rabbit who wants the otter to think he can catch fish as good as the otter. The otter says, I can catch duck too, and the rabbit claims to be able to catch ducks as well. The rabbit makes a noose and puts a duck in the noose. The duck flies off, dragging the rabbit along. The rabbit ends up falling into a tree stump and getting stuck where he has to resort to eating his own fur (as starving rabbits often do).
