Abstract
-
en_US
This version of TH opens with a great description of the jack rabbit's behavior: "All he ever did was brag, brag, brag." As he keeps up his offensive behavior, the turtle says "I wish you would go away." "I don't want to go away. I want to race." "Very well, then," said the turtle. "I will race you." The race here is unusual -- and perhaps less well thought through -- in that it goes out and comes back. The turning-back point is the big tree, and that is where the jack rabbit decides to have a little rest. The best of the simple black and orange illustrations may be that of the jack rabbit sleeping against the base of the tree. The other animals at the finish line ask the jack rabbit what he says now. "The jack rabbit didn't say a thing. And from that day on the jack rabbit never bragged again."
