Rabbit Shoots the Sun

A Hopi Folktale

How is it that rabbit became frightened of noise? Why does the sun rise slowly? Before science explained it all, a Hopi legend revealed some reasons. In this delightful re-telling of an ancient fable by award-winning author Terri Fields, Rabbit sets out to teach Sun some manners about being too hot, but Sun isn't really interested in changing. The two engage in battle that forever changes both the sun and the rabbit.
