El-ahrairah knew that Frith was
too clever for him, and he was frightened.
:02:10
He had never before seen
the Black Rabbit of Death.
:02:18
"My friend," said Frith,
"have you seen El-ahrairah?
:02:24
"For I wish to give him a gift."
:02:28
"No, I have not seen him."
:02:31
So, Frith said,
"Come out, and I will bless you instead."
:02:36
"No, I cannot. I am busy.
The fox and weasel are coming.
:02:40
"If you want to bless me,
you will have to bless my bottom. "
:02:44
"Very well. Be it so."
:02:49
And El-ahrairah's tail grew shining white,
and it flashed like a star.
:02:56
And his back legs grew long and powerful.
:03:00
He tore across the hill
faster than any creature in the world.
:03:11
"All the world will be your enemy,
Prince with a Thousand Enemies.
:03:17
"And whenever they catch you,
they will kill you.
:03:24
"But first, they must catch you...
:03:27
"...digger, listener, runner.
:03:30
"Prince with the swift warren.
:03:35
"Be cunning and full of tricks...
:03:39
"...and your people
will never be destroyed. "
