1 00:00:29,554 --> 00:00:33,422 Long ago, the great Frith made the world. 2 00:00:39,764 --> 00:00:41,823 He made all the stars... 3 00:00:44,936 --> 00:00:47,734 and the world lived among the stars. 4 00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:57,141 Frith made all the animals and birds... 5 00:00:57,315 --> 00:01:00,216 and, at first, made them all the same. 6 00:01:01,219 --> 00:01:06,088 Now, among the animals was El-ahrairah, the Prince of Rabbits. 7 00:01:08,293 --> 00:01:10,261 He had many friends... 8 00:01:12,797 --> 00:01:15,391 and they all ate grass together. 9 00:01:15,867 --> 00:01:18,597 After a time, the rabbits wandered everywhere... 10 00:01:18,770 --> 00:01:21,568 multiplying and eating as they went. 11 00:01:30,148 --> 00:01:33,640 "Prince Rabbit, if you cannot control your people... 12 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,117 I shall find ways to control them. " 13 00:01:37,322 --> 00:01:39,790 El-ahrairah would not listen, and said to Frith: 14 00:01:40,492 --> 00:01:43,461 "My people are the strongest in the world. " 15 00:01:45,597 --> 00:01:50,057 This angered Frith, so he determined to get the better of El-ahrairah. 16 00:01:50,235 --> 00:01:53,329 He gave a present to every animal and bird... 17 00:01:53,671 --> 00:01:56,697 making each one different from the rest. 18 00:01:56,908 --> 00:02:00,935 When the fox came, and others like the dog and cat... 19 00:02:02,113 --> 00:02:04,343 the hawk and weasel... 20 00:02:06,784 --> 00:02:10,185 to each of them, Frith gave a fierce desire... 21 00:02:10,355 --> 00:02:13,415 to hunt and slay the children of El-ahrairah. 22 00:02:25,537 --> 00:02:30,236 El-ahrairah knew that Frith was too clever for him, and he was frightened. 23 00:02:30,441 --> 00:02:33,842 He had never before seen the Black Rabbit of Death. 24 00:02:38,716 --> 00:02:43,676 "My friend," said Frith, "Have you seen El-ahrairah? 25 00:02:44,389 --> 00:02:46,584 For I wish to give him a gift. " 26 00:02:48,459 --> 00:02:51,986 "No, I have not seen him. " 27 00:02:52,163 --> 00:02:56,361 So, Frith said, "Come out, and I will bless you instead." 28 00:02:57,068 --> 00:03:00,970 "No, I cannot. I am busy. The fox and weasel are coming. 29 00:03:01,139 --> 00:03:04,836 If you want to bless me, you will have to bless my bottom. " 30 00:03:05,009 --> 00:03:07,944 "Very well. Be it so." 31 00:03:09,981 --> 00:03:15,078 And El-ahrairah's tail grew shining white, and it flashed like a star. 32 00:03:16,221 --> 00:03:19,190 And his back legs grew long and powerful. 33 00:03:20,758 --> 00:03:24,751 He tore across the hill faster than any creature in the world. 34 00:03:31,636 --> 00:03:37,541 "All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies." 35 00:03:37,709 --> 00:03:42,169 And whenever they catch you, they will kill you. 36 00:03:44,649 --> 00:03:47,209 But first, they must catch you... 37 00:03:47,452 --> 00:03:50,910 digger, listener, runner. 38 00:03:51,089 --> 00:03:53,148 Prince with the swift warning. 39 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,729 Be cunning and full of tricks... 40 00:03:59,831 --> 00:04:02,925 "...and your people will never be destroyed.
