That was what got the rabbit into trouble. He boasted to the otter than he could do anything the otter could do- even catch fish. The otter decided to call him on the bluff but made the problem trickier for the rabbit by telling him that he (the otter) also ate ducks. So they went to the river to catch some ducks. The otter went first, dove under the water and caught the duck. The rabbit of course, had the harder time- he made a noose and swam up behind the ducks and lassoed one- it flew away with him on it. The rabbit lets go of the noose and falls in a sycamore stump. He has to eat his own fur to survive. Finally he hears voices and calls out to the people to cut open the stump so they can see how beautiful he is. When they do, he escapes.

Or something like that.

But thanks for the info...that makes more sense, though it somehow seems less appropriate.
