Once upon a time, a group of Mohawk camped in a wild corner of the Adirondacks. During the Falling Leaves Month (towards October), a large number of Mohawk, along the Mohawk River, left their main villages and moved northward towards the mountains where the hunting was fruitful. In this wooded valley, the hunters were trying to accumulate meat and deer skin for the winter months. After accumulating enough, they traveled back to the South until their villagers. Some hunters were staying in the mountains all winter. because a large number of fur animals were caught. The beaver dudes had a commercial value before the white man came and exchanged weapons and fire water.

Two little boys lived in these hunting camps. One's name is Onowara (Turtle) and the other's name is Oweya (Wing).

One morning, while the hunters were preparing for deer hunting, the Turtle and the Wing alone traveled for a little discovery. They had small springs in their hands and crossed torsks on their shoulders. They walked for a long time in the forest. They walked quietly, trying not to make noise. Because they hoped to find a game animal. They wanted to catch a rabbit or something like an animal they did not expect. They reached a flat in the pines, quite far from the camp. They identify the footprints of the rabbit and, therefore, keep their springs tight and ready. They went to the middle of the plain and started looking for the rabbit.

Suddenly they heard a muffled voice from the floor. They are frozen by surprise, boys. They saw a giant brown rabbit in front of them. These huge animals are as big as themselves!

The rabbit stood on the hind legs for a while and looked at the little Mohawk. That is why Turtle and Wing have completely forgotten the rabbit hunt. Because they've never seen such a big size before. At first they were afraid, but because the rabbit did not have any threatening behavior, their fear had passed before long.

After looking at the boys from the top, the rabbit began to hit the ground again with his hind legs ... In a moment, a long rabbit running along a long path appeared. The rabbits have quickly reached the flat and have begun to make different imitations in a way that boys never expected. Hundreds of rabbits seemed to have ... A bunch of endless rabbits running from a narrow path to a flat, jumping, jumping and following each other. They gave the impression that they were everywhere and they were jumping on each side to jump. Sometimes he seems to be playing Ring Game.

They were running there, here, behind each other. From time to time they were spinning and throwing kicks in circles. Meanwhile, the Great Chiefs were standing next to the boys. He was looking at such a life-filled people, but he was watching without ever participating in anything.

Looking at the rabbits jumping around them, the Great Rabbit forgot the fear they heard the Chief ... The boys wanted to run with the rabbits just as they were ... The turtle tried to catch one; but since he did not succeed, he began to follow him. The wing has also forgotten the Great Rabbit Chief and joined the game ...

Suddenly, a vigorous "Güm, Güm Güm" sound was heard. The Great Rabbit Chief warned his people like this. All the big, big rabbits just stopped ... They seemed like puts. They're frozen where they are! The two excited boys stopped running and looked at the Great Rabbit with fear. The Big Rabbit repeated the same noisy twice ... Immediately the others jumped and disappeared from the eye in the direction they left the flat on the rear back row.

The Great Rabbit Chief waited for the last one to leave the flat and set himself on his way by a final "Güm!" Voice and soon disappeared from sight. The two boys are also very surprised. The boys quickly went back to the camp and told their dad they saw it. Daddy started laughing and said that the boys had the ability to tell a great story. But the grandparents, who are wise, have had the chance to see all of them on time. "You witnessed the dance of the rabbits," he said. "Rabbits, like people, have their own ways and council sites. They form a council and move from place to place. They hit each other with their back legs and transmit secret signals to each other. Few people can see the rabbits dance, and those who have this chance usually become excellent hunters! He was watching the Great Rabbit, the Great Rabbit Shaft and his people! "

And the old man shook his head wisely and returned to his wooden house.
