Brer Rabbit Finds the Moon in the Mill Pond
In this story, Brer Rabbit tricks his friends into thinking the moon is stuck in a pond because of it's reflection. He tells them that they have to "rescue" the moon so that it can be put back in the sky and so they all dive in on the moon, which is just a reflection.
How Mr. Lion Lost his Wool
This story is about how the Lion ended up with just hair on his head and the end of his tail. Brer Rabbit is watching man get ready to cook some hogs and sees how they put coals in a barrel full of water and then dip the hogs in so that they can get the hair off of them. Brer Lion walks up along with a couple of other animals and Rabbit asks if they want to take a warm bath with him in the barrel. No one takes him up on his offer except the Lion. After Lion got in, all of his hair came off except for the tip of his tail that had went through the bung-hole in the barrel and his head that was above water.
