Week 9 Reading Notes: Brer Rabbit Part B

For this unit, my favorite story was Mr. Fox and the Deceitful Frogs. This story was relatively simple, but I was pretty surprised that Brer Fox was the one getting deceived in this story, as that kind of goes against the precedent set before.

Notes:

• The frogs were yelling at Brer Fox, and mocking him and taunting him
• They told him to wade into the pond
• Brer Fox was looking for his brother, and he did see a fox on the other side of the pond
• Brer Fox reached out for his brother, and fell into the water
• He didn't drown, he barely escaped before the Mud Turtle got him, as the frogs had tricked him indeed.
