"Bruh Lizard and Bruh Rabbit"


“Bruh Lizard and Bruh Rabbit”


Don’t know some animal tells. Hear um but forget um. Do know about Bruh Lizard and Bruh Rabbit, though. You never hear em tell how Bruh Lizard bested Bruh Rabbit? Well, that lizard was a hard worker. He had a big sword he use to cut his crop. Sword knew how to work by herself and it cut so fine, there was nothing left, once something was cut. Bruh Lizard speakin words to the sword and Sword do all the work. That’s how it went.
Now, Bruh Rabbit, he is smart. He don’t have him a sword like the lizard has, and he wants one. So he hides behind a bush and he watches Sword working for Bruh Lizard. He wants it very bad, too.
One day Bruh Lizard has to go away. And Bruh Rabbit, he sneak up and he steal Bruh Lizard’s sword. Bruh Rabbit laughs to himself because he now got Sword. He think he knows the words that Lizard say to Sword, so he calls out, “Go-ee-tell,” like that. And Sword starts workin, just a-cuttin and a-slashin this way and that and all around.
Pretty soon, old Sword finish up the crop and the rabbit want it to stop. Sword is comin very close to the other crop the rabbit is keeping to live on.
So Bruh Rabbit, he yells out to the Sword, “Go-ee-tell. Go-ee-tell!” like that. That just make the Sword work that much faster. Sword go on and cut down everything Rabbit have. It don’t leave nothing, not one leaf cabbage.
Now Bruh Lizard, he been hidin behind a bush. He sees the whole thing. He is laughin and laughin to herself at Bruh Rabbit, cause that Rabbit think he so smart when he steal Sword. And now Bruh Rabbit got nothin to eat all winter long.
Bruh Rabbit spies the lizard, and he calls over there, “Lizard, Bruh, stop Sword!”
Bruh Lizard, he call right back, “It my Sword.”
Bruh Rabbit, he says then, “That’s so. It’s your Sword, but please stop it. It ain’t got no sense. It cut down everythin I got.”
Lizard say, “Sword work faster every time he hear “Go-ee-tell.’” The lizard laughs again, and he calls out real loud, “Go-ee-pom!” Sword stop.
The lizard grinning to herself all over the place. Then he slide out there and pick up Sword and take it on home,
Rabbit watch him go.
That’s all.
