Br'er Rabbit Earns a Dollar a Minute

Br'er Bear falls for the trap set for Br'er Rabbit.

"Br'er Rabbit Earns a Dollar a Minute" is a traditional African American folktale, featuring Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear. It is famous for its inclusion among Joel Chandler Harris' Uncle Remus stories.[1] Although its folk roots most likely trace back to ancient Africa, the folktale's first written appearance[citation needed] was as a chapter titled "Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Bear" in Uncle Remus: His Songs and Sayings, published in 1881.
