Soon as he ‘s gone, Buh Rabbit put his shoe on and take all the fish out of Buh Bear ‘s cart. He gave some to Buh Fox and headed home with all the rest.

Now Buh Fox see everything that Buh Rabbit do. "That ‘s a mighty smart trick," he say, "I think I can do it myself" So next day he wait for Buh Bear to come along with a load of fish, and he put one of his own shoes, number nine, out in the road where Buh Bear will see it. Buh Bear he been fooled once, but he been doin‘ some thinkin‘ since he lost all his fish the day before. So when he see Buh Fox‘s shoe, he pickup and throw it in the cart. Don‘t wait to find the other one.

Buh Fox he run way ahead of the cart, and of course he‘s only got one shoe left now, so he puts that one in the road and wait for Buh Bear to come along. Naturally there wasn‘t no purpose in it any more, but Buh Fox didn‘t get the point of it. When Buh Bear come along, he stop just long enough to pick up the other shoe.

"Well, now, I got a mighty fine pair of numbers nines," Bear say. "Giddap, mule."

Fox find out he‘s got no shoes at all, and no fish either. So he run after Bear, saying’, "Mornin' Buh Bear. You happen to find a nice pair of shoes this mornin’?"

"Maybe I did," Buh Bear say. "What size you wear?"

"Number nine," Fox say.

"I learned a lot about shoes since yesterday," Bear say, "Come on here and tell me are these shoes yours."

"Yeah, they sure look like my shoes, Buh Bear," Fox say.

"Look close," Bear say.

Buh Fox put his nose right up there. "They’re mine all right," he say.

Bear grab Fox by the scruff of the neck. "You got my fish yesterday, Buh Fox," he say, "and I got you today!"
