How Rabbit Lost His Tail, How Chipmunk Got Its Stripes... - Festivals Bazar

The Story of How Rabbit Lost His Tail

Rabbits are known for their bushy tails, but have you ever wondered why some rabbits don't have any tails at all? Legend has it that long ago, rabbits had long and beautiful tails, just like foxes or squirrels. But one mischievous rabbit named Peter loved to play tricks on his fellow animals.

One day, Peter decided to hold a race with his friends to see who could hop the fastest. As the race began, Peter saw a shortcut through a dense thicket. Thinking he could outsmart everyone, he took the shortcut and quickly disappeared from sight. However, unknown to Peter, there was a trap waiting for him in the thicket.

As Peter hopped through the thicket, his tail got caught in a snare, and when he tried to free himself, he accidentally pulled it off. From that day forward, rabbits were left with short, fluffy tails, a constant reminder of Peter's misadventure.

How Chipmunk Got Its Stripes

Chipmunks are adorable little creatures with stripes running down their backs, but have you ever wondered how they got those stripes? According to Native American folklore, long ago, there was a mischievous chipmunk named Charlie who loved to play hide-and-seek with his friends.

During one particular game, Charlie thought it would be clever to hide among the tall grass, hoping his stripes would help him blend in. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that a hunter was nearby, observing the game from a distance. When the hunter spotted a movement in the grass, he mistook Charlie for a snake and shot an arrow in his direction.

Miraculously, the arrow missed Charlie but left a trail of paint on his back, creating the distinctive stripes that chipmunks have today. Since that day, chipmunks have always had stripes as a reminder of Charlie's clever, if not somewhat risky, hiding spot.

Why Hummingbirds Drink Nectar

Hummingbirds are fascinating creatures known for their ability to hover and feed on sweet nectar. But how did they develop this unique feeding behavior? According to a Native American legend, long ago, the world was covered in darkness and there was no light or color.

The Great Spirit decided to bring color and beauty to the world, so it gathered the most vibrant and fragrant flowers and transformed them into hummingbirds. These tiny birds were given the task of sipping nectar from the flowers and transferring their pollen, thus bringing forth new life and color to the world.

Since then, hummingbirds have been known as the messengers of love and joy, as they continue to play a vital role in pollination and ensuring the continued existence of beautiful flowers.
