+<p>&ldquo;Once &rsquo;pon a time,&rdquo; said Uncle Remus to the little
+boy&mdash;&ldquo;But when was once upon a time?&rdquo; the child interrupted
+to ask. The old man smiled. &ldquo;I speck &rsquo;twuz one time er two

+fine dat all de neighbors come ter see it. Some &rsquo;ud look at it
+over de fence, some &rsquo;ud peep thoo de cracks, an&rsquo; some
+&rsquo;ud come an&rsquo; look at it by de light er de stars. An&rsquo;

+<p>The little boy, when he next saw Uncle Remus, after hearing how the
+animals went to the barbecue, wanted to know what happened to them: he
+was anxious to learn if any of them were hurt by the dogs that had been
+chasing Brother Rabbit. The old darkey closed his eyes and chuckled.
+&ldquo;You sho is axin&rsquo; sump&rsquo;n now, honey. Und&rsquo; his
+hat, ef he had any, Brer Rabbit had a mighty quick thinkin&rsquo;
+apple-ratus, an&rsquo; mos&rsquo; inginner&rsquo;lly, all de time, de
+pranks he played on de yuther creeturs pestered um bofe ways

+Brer Coon, an&rsquo; Brer Wolf, but when dey run ag&rsquo;in&rsquo;
+ol&rsquo; Brer B&rsquo;ar, dey sho struck a snag. De mos&rsquo;
+servigrous wuz de identual one dat got de wust hurted. He got too close

+&ldquo;Nothin&rsquo; &rsquo;t all,&rdquo; replied Uncle Remus, taking up
+the chuckle where he had left off. &ldquo;De creeturs aint had no dance,

+
+<p>One sultry summer day, while the little boy was playing not far from
+Uncle Remus&rsquo;s cabin, a heavy black cloud made its appearance in
+the west, and quickly obscured the sky. It sent a brisk gale before it,
+as if to clear the path of leaves and dust. Presently there was a
+blinding flash of lightning, a snap and a crash, and, with that, the
+child took to his heels, and ran to Uncle Remus, who was standing in his
+door. &ldquo;Dar now!&rdquo; he exclaimed, before the echoes of the
+thunder had rolled away, &ldquo;Dat dust an&rsquo; win&rsquo;, an&rsquo;
+rain, puts me in mind er de time when ol&rsquo; Brer Rabbit got up a big
+race fer ter pleasure de yuther creeturs. It wuz de mos&rsquo; funniest
+race you ever hear tell on. Brer Rabbit went &rsquo;way off in de woods
+twel he come ter de Rainmaker&rsquo;s house. He knocked an&rsquo; went
+in, an&rsquo; he ax de Rainmaker ef he can&rsquo;t fix it up so dey kin
+have a race &rsquo;tween Brer Dust an&rsquo; Cousin Rain, fer ter see
+which kin run de fastes&rsquo;. De Rainmaker growled an&rsquo; jowered,
+but bimeby he &rsquo;gree, but he say that ef &rsquo;twuz anybody but
+Brer Rabbit, he wouldn&rsquo;t gi&rsquo; it but one thunk.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenterl">

+
+<p>&ldquo;Well, dey fix de day, dey did, an&rsquo; den Brer Rabbit put out
+ter whar de creeturs wuz stayin&rsquo; at, an&rsquo; tol&rsquo; um de
+news. Dey dunner how Brer Rabbit know, but dey all wanter see de race.
+Now, him an&rsquo; de Rainmaker had fixt it up so dat de race would be
+right down de middle er de big road, an&rsquo; when de day come,
+dar&rsquo;s whar he made de creeturs stan&rsquo;&mdash;Brer B&rsquo;ar at de
+bend er de road, Brer Wolf a leetle furder off, an&rsquo; Brer Fox at a
+p&rsquo;int whar de cross-roads wuz. Brer Coon an&rsquo; Brer Possum
+an&rsquo; de yuthers be scattered about up an&rsquo; down de Road.</p>

+<p>&ldquo;Ter dem what has ter wait, it seem like de sun stops an&rsquo;
+all de clocks wid &rsquo;im. Brer B&rsquo;ar done some growlin&rsquo;;
+Brer Wolf some howlin&rsquo; an&rsquo; Brer Possum some laughin&rsquo;;
+but atter while a cloud come up fum some&rsquo;rs. &rsquo;Twant sech a
+big cloud, but Brer Rabbit know&rsquo;d dat Cousin Rain wuz in dar
+&rsquo;long wid Uncle Win&rsquo;. De cloud crope up, it did, twel it got
+right over de big road, an&rsquo; den it kinder drapped down a leetle
+closer ter de groun&rsquo;. It look like it kinder stop, like a buggy,
+fer Cousin Rain ter git out, so der&rsquo;d be a fa&rsquo;r start. Well,
+he got out, kaze de creeturs kin see &rsquo;im, an&rsquo; den Uncle
+Win&rsquo;, he got out.</p>
+

+
+<p>&ldquo;An&rsquo; den, gentermens! de race begun fer ter commence. Uncle
+Win&rsquo; hep&rsquo;d um bofe; he had his bellows wid &rsquo;im,

+a-layin&rsquo; at, an&rsquo; come down de road des a-whirlin&rsquo;. He
+stricken ol&rsquo; Brer B&rsquo;ar fust, den Brer Wolf, an&rsquo; den
+Brer Fox, an&rsquo; atter dat, all de yuther creeturs, an&rsquo; it come
+mighty nigh smifflicatin&rsquo; um! Not never in all yo&rsquo; born days
+is you y&rsquo;ever heern sech coughin&rsquo; an&rsquo; sneezin&rsquo;,
+sech snortin&rsquo; an&rsquo; wheezin&rsquo;! An&rsquo; dey all look
+like dey wuz painted red. Brer B&rsquo;ar sneeze so hard dat he hatter
+lay down in de road, an&rsquo; Brer Dust come mighty nigh buryin&rsquo;
+&rsquo;im, an&rsquo; &rsquo;twuz de same wid de yuther creeturs&mdash;dey got
+der y&rsquo;ears, der noses, an&rsquo; der eyeses full.</p>

+<div class="figcenterl">

+
+<p>&ldquo;An&rsquo; den Cousin Rain come &rsquo;long, a-pursuin&rsquo; Brer
+Dust, an&rsquo; he come mighty nigh drownin&rsquo; um. He left um
+kivver&rsquo;d wid mud, an&rsquo; dey wuz wuss off dan befo&rsquo;. It
+wuz de longest &rsquo;fo&rsquo; dey kin git de mud out &rsquo;n der eyes
+an&rsquo; y&rsquo;ears, an&rsquo; when dey git so dey kin see a leetle
+bit, dey tuck notice dat Brer Rabbit, stidder bein&rsquo; full er mud,
+wuz ez dry ez a chip, ef not dryer.</p>

+
+<p>&ldquo;It make um so mad, dat dey all put out atter &rsquo;im, an&rsquo;
+try der level best fer ter ketch, but ef dey wuz anything in de
+roun&rsquo; worl&rsquo; dat Brer Rabbit&rsquo;s got, it&rsquo;s soople

+creeturs can&rsquo;t see ha&rsquo;r ner hide un &rsquo;im! All de same
+Brer Rabbit aint bargain fer ter have two races de same day.&rdquo;</p>
+
+<p>&ldquo;But, Uncle Remus,&rdquo; said the little boy, &ldquo;which beat,
+Brother Dust or Cousin Rain?&rdquo; The old man stirred uneasily in his
+chair, and rubbed his chin with his hand. &ldquo;Dey tells me,&rdquo; he
+responded cautiously, &ldquo;dat when Cousin Rain can&rsquo;t see
+nothin&rsquo; er Brother Dust, he thunk he am beat, but he holla out,
+&lsquo;Brer Dust, wharbouts is you?&rsquo; an&rsquo; Brer Dust he holla
+back, &lsquo;You&rsquo;ll hatter scuzen me; I fell down in de mud
+an&rsquo; can&rsquo;t run no mo&rsquo;!&rsquo;&rdquo;</p>

+<p>There had been silence in the cabin for a long ten minutes, and Uncle

+<p>&ldquo;Well, suh, one year it fell out dat de craps wuz burnt up. A dry

+couldn&rsquo;t watch the little boy. For a moment the child said
+nothing, and then, &ldquo;I must tell that tale to mother before I
+forget it!&rdquo; So saying, he ran out of the cabin as fast as his feet
+could carry him, leaving Uncle Remus shaking with laughter.</p>

+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are

+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project

+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:

+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied

+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily

+THE CREETURS GO TO THE BARBECUE
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Once 'pon a time," said Uncle Remus to the little boy--"But when was
+once upon a time?" the child interrupted to ask. The old man smiled. "I
+speck 'twuz one time er two times, er maybe a time an' a half. You know
+when Johnny Ashcake 'gun ter bake? Well, 'twuz 'long in dem days. Once
+'pon a time," he resumed, "Mr. Man had a gyarden so fine dat all de
+neighbors come ter see it. Some 'ud look at it over de fence, some 'ud
+peep thoo de cracks, an' some 'ud come an' look at it by de light er de
+stars. An' one un um wuz ol' Brer Rabbit; starlight, moonlight,
+cloudlight, de nightlight wuz de light fer him. When de turn er de
+mornin' come, he 'uz allers up an' about, an' a-feelin' purty well I
+thank you, suh!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Now, den, you done hear what I say. Dar wuz Mr. Man, yander wuz de
+gyarden, an' here wuz ol' Brer Rabbit." Uncle Remus made a map of this
+part of the story by marking in the sand with his walking-cane. "Well,
+dis bein' de case, what you speck gwineter happen? Nothin' in de roun'
+worl' but what been happenin' sence greens an' sparrer-grass wuz planted
+in de groun'. Dey look fine an' dey tas'e fine, an' long to'rds de shank
+er de mornin', Brer Rabbit 'ud creep thoo de crack er de fence an'
+nibble at um. He'd take de greens, but leave his tracks, mo' speshually
+right atter a rain. Takin' an' leavin'--it's de way er de worl'.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Well, one mornin', Mr. Man went out in his truck patch, an' he fin'
+sump'n missin'--a cabbage here, a turnip dar, an' a mess er beans
+yander, an' he ax how come dis? He look 'roun', he did, an' he seed Brer
+Rabbit's tracks what he couldn't take wid 'im. Brer Rabbit had lef' his
+shoes at home, an' come bar'footed.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"So Mr. Man, he call his dogs 'Here, Buck! Here, Brinjer! Here, Blue!'
+an' he sicc'd um on de track, an' here dey went!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"You'd 'a' thunk dey wuz runnin' atter forty-lev'm rhinossyhosses fum de
+fuss dey made. Brer Rabbit he hear um comin' an' he put out fer home,
+kinder doublin' 'roun' des like he do deze days.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"When he got ter de p'int whar he kin set down fer ter rest his face an'
+han's, he tuck a poplar leaf an' 'gun ter fan hisse'f. Den Brer Fox come
+a-trottin' up. He say, 'Brer Rabbit, what's all dis fuss I hear in de
+woods? What de name er goodness do it mean?' Brer Rabbit kinder scratch
+his head an' 'low, 'Why, deyer tryin' fer drive me ter de big bobbycue
+on de creek. Dey all ax me, an' when I 'fuse dey say deyer gwine ter
+make me go any how. Dey aint no fun in bein' ez populous ez what I is,
+Brer Fox. Ef you wanter go, des git in ahead er de houn's an' go
+lickity-split down de big road!'
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Brer Fox roll his little eyes, an' lick his chops whar he dribble at de
+mouf, an put out ter de bobbycue, an' he aint mo' dan made his
+disappearance, 'fo' here come Brer Wolf, an' when he got de news, off he
+put.
+
+"An' he aint mo'n got out'n sight, 'fo' here come ol' Brer B'ar, an'
+when he hear talk er de bakin' meat an' de big pan er gravy, he sot up
+on his behime legs an' snored. Den off he put, an' he aint got out'n
+hearin', 'fo' Brer Coon come rackin' up, an' when he got de news, he put
+out.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"So dar dey wuz an' what you gwine do 'bout it? It seem like dey all got
+in front er de dogs, er de dogs got behime um, an' Brer Rabbit sot by de
+creek-side laughin' an' hittin' at de snake doctors. An' dem po'
+creeturs had ter go clean past de bobbycue--ef dey wuz any bobbycue,
+which I don't skacely speck dey wuz. Dat what make me say what I
+does--when you git a invite ter a bobbycue, you better fin' out when an'
+whar it's at, an' who runnin' it."
+
+
+
+
+BRER RABBIT'S FROLIC
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The little boy, when he next saw Uncle Remus, after hearing how the
+animals went to the barbecue, wanted to know what happened to them: he
+was anxious to learn if any of them were hurt by the dogs that had been
+chasing Brother Rabbit. The old darkey closed his eyes and chuckled.
+"You sho is axin' sump'n now, honey. Und' his hat, ef he had any, Brer
+Rabbit had a mighty quick thinkin' apple-ratus, an' mos' inginner'lly,
+all de time, de pranks he played on de yuther creeturs pestered um bofe
+ways a-comin' an' a-gwine. De dogs done mighty well, 'long ez dey had
+dealin's wid de small fry, like Brer Fox, an' Brer Coon, an' Brer Wolf,
+but when dey run ag'in' ol' Brer B'ar, dey sho struck a snag. De mos'
+servigrous wuz de identual one dat got de wust hurted. He got too close
+ter Brer B'ar, an' when he look at hisse'f in runnin' water, he tuck
+notice dat he wuz split wide open fum flank ter dewlap.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Atter de rucus wuz over, de creeturs hobbled off home de best dey
+could, an' laid 'roun' in sun an' shade fer ter let der cuts an' gashes
+git good an' well. When dey got so dey could segashuate, an' pay der
+party calls, dey 'gree fer ter insemble some'rs, an' hit on some plan
+fer ter outdo Brer Rabbit. Well, dey had der insembly, an' dey jower'd
+an' jower'd des like yo' pa do when he aint feelin' right well; but,
+bimeby, dey 'greed 'pon a plan dat look like it mought work. Dey 'gree
+fer ter make out dat dey gwine ter have a dance. Dey know'd dat ol' Brer
+Rabbit wuz allers keen fer dat, an' dey say dey'll gi' him a invite, an'
+when he got dar, dey'd ax 'im fer ter play de fiddle, an' ef he 'fuse,
+dey'll close in on 'im an' make way wid 'im.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"So fur, so good! But all de time dey wuz jowerin' an' confabbin', ol'
+Brer Rabbit wus settin' in a shady place in de grass, a-hearin' eve'y
+word dey say. When de time come, he crope out, he did, an' run 'roun',
+an' de fust news dey know'd, here he come down de big
+road--bookity-bookity--same ez a hoss dat's broke thoo de pastur' fence.
+He say, sezee, 'Why, hello, frien's! an' howdy, too, kaze I aint seed
+you-all sence de last time! Whar de name er goodness is you been deze
+odd-come-shorts? an' how did you far' at de bobbycue? Ef my two eyeballs

+

+
+"But what happened then?" the little boy asked. "Nothin' 't all,"
+replied Uncle Remus, taking up the chuckle where he had left off. "De
+creeturs aint had no dance, an' when dey went ter Miss Meadows', she put
+her head out de winder, an' say ef dey don't go off fum dar she'll have

+
+"Uv all de creeturs", said Uncle Remus, in response to a questioning
+took on the part of the little boy, "ol Brer B'ar had de biggest an' de
+warmest house. I dunner why ner wharfo', but I'm a-tellin' you de plain
+fack, des ez dey to!' it unter me. Ef I kin he'p it I never will be
+deceivin' you, ner lead you inter no bad habits. Yo' pappy trotted wid
+me a mighty long time, an' ef you'll ax him he'll tell you dat de one
+thing I never did do wuz ter deceive him whiles he had his eyes open;
+not ef I knows myse'f. Well, ol' Brer B'ar had de big house I'm
+a-tellin' you about. Ef he y'ever is brag un it, it aint never come down
+ter me. Yit dat's des what he had--a big house an' plenty er room fer
+him an' his fambly; an' he aint had mo' dan he need, kaze all er his
+fambly wuz fat an' had what folks calls heft--de nachal plunkness.
+

+
+"He had a son name Simmon, an' a gal name Sue, not countin' his ol'
+'oman, an' dey all live wid one an'er day atter day, an' night atter

+an' wipin' on de same towel same ez all happy famblies allers does.
+

+
+"Well, time went on an' fotched de changes dat might be spected, an' one
+day dar come a mighty knockin' on Brer B'ar's do'. Brer B'ar, he holla
+out, he did. 'Who dat come a-knockin' dis time er de year, 'fo' de
+corn's done planted, er de cotton-crap's pitched?' De one at de do' make
+a big noise, an' rattle de hinges. Brer B'ar holla out, he did, 'Don't
+t'ar down my house! Who is you, anyhow, an' what you want?' An' de
+answer come, 'I'm one an' darfo' not two; ef youer mo' dan one, who is
+you an' what you doin' in dar?' Brer B'ar, he say, sezee, 'I'm all er
+one an' mighty nigh two, but I'd thank you fer ter tell me yo' full
+fambly name.' Den de answer come.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"'I'm de knocker an' de mover bofe, an' ef I can't clim' over I'll crawl
+under ef you do but gi' me de word. Some calls me Brer Polecat, an' some
+a big word dat it aint wuff while ter ermember, but I wanter move in.
+It's mighty col' out here, an' all I meets tells me it's mighty warm in
+dar whar you is.' Den ol' Brer B'ar say, sezee. 'It's warm nuff fer dem
+what stays in here, but not nigh so warm fer dem on de outside. What
+does you reely want?' Brer Polecat 'spon', he did, 'I wants a heap er
+things dat I don't git. I'm a mighty good housekeeper, but I takes
+notice dat dar's mighty few folks dat wants me ter keep house fer um.'
+Brer B'ar say, sezee, 'I aint got no room fer no housekeeper; we aint
+skacely got room fer ter go ter bed. Ef you kin keep my house on de

+
+"Brer Polecat say, 'You may think you aint got no room, but I bet you
+got des ez much room ez anybody what I know. Ef you let me in dar one

+
+[Illustration]
+
+Uncle Remus paused to see what effect this statement would have on the
+little boy. He closed his eyes, as though he were tired, but when he
+opened them again, he saw the faint shadow of a smile on the child's
+face. "'Taint gwine ter hurt you fer ter laugh a little bit, honey. Brer
+Polecat come in Brer B'ar's house, an' he had sech a bad breff dat dey

+BRER RABBIT TREATS THE CREETURS TO A RACE
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+One sultry summer day, while the little boy was playing not far from
+Uncle Remus's cabin, a heavy black cloud made its appearance in the
+west, and quickly obscured the sky. It sent a brisk gale before it, as
+if to clear the path of leaves and dust. Presently there was a blinding
+flash of lightning, a snap and a crash, and, with that, the child took
+to his heels, and ran to Uncle Remus, who was standing in his door. "Dar
+now!" he exclaimed, before the echoes of the thunder had rolled away,
+"Dat dust an' win', an' rain, puts me in mind er de time when ol' Brer
+Rabbit got up a big race fer ter pleasure de yuther creeturs. It wuz de
+mos' funniest race you ever hear tell on. Brer Rabbit went 'way off in
+de woods twel he come ter de Rainmaker's house. He knocked an' went in,
+an' he ax de Rainmaker ef he can't fix it up so dey kin have a race
+'tween Brer Dust an' Cousin Rain, fer ter see which kin run de fastes'.
+De Rainmaker growled an' jowered, but bimeby he 'gree, but he say that
+ef 'twuz anybody but Brer Rabbit, he wouldn't gi' it but one thunk.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Well, dey fix de day, dey did, an' den Brer Rabbit put out ter whar de
+creeturs wuz stayin' at, an' tol' um de news. Dey dunner how Brer Rabbit
+know, but dey all wanter see de race. Now, him an' de Rainmaker had fixt
+it up so dat de race would be right down de middle er de big road, an'
+when de day come, dar's whar he made de creeturs stan'--Brer B'ar at de
+bend er de road, Brer Wolf a leetle furder off, an' Brer Fox at a p'int
+whar de cross-roads wuz. Brer Coon an' Brer Possum an' de yuthers be
+scattered about up an' down de Road.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Ter dem what has ter wait, it seem like de sun stops an' all de clocks
+wid 'im. Brer B'ar done some growlin'; Brer Wolf some howlin' an' Brer
+Possum some laughin'; but atter while a cloud come up fum some'rs.
+'Twant sech a big cloud, but Brer Rabbit know'd dat Cousin Rain wuz in
+dar 'long wid Uncle Win'. De cloud crope up, it did, twel it got right
+over de big road, an' den it kinder drapped down a leetle closer ter de
+groun'. It look like it kinder stop, like a buggy, fer Cousin Rain ter
+git out, so der'd be a fa'r start. Well, he got out, kaze de creeturs
+kin see 'im, an' den Uncle Win', he got out.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"An' den, gentermens! de race begun fer ter commence. Uncle Win' hep'd
+um bofe; he had his bellows wid 'im, an' he blow'd it! Brer Dust got up
+fum whar he wuz a-layin' at, an' come down de road des a-whirlin'. He
+stricken ol' Brer B'ar fust, den Brer Wolf, an' den Brer Fox, an' atter
+dat, all de yuther creeturs, an' it come mighty nigh smifflicatin' um!
+Not never in all yo' born days is you y'ever heern sech coughin' an'
+sneezin', sech snortin' an' wheezin'! An' dey all look like dey wuz
+painted red. Brer B'ar sneeze so hard dat he hatter lay down in de road,
+an' Brer Dust come mighty nigh buryin' 'im, an' 'twuz de same wid de
+yuther creeturs--dey got der y'ears, der noses, an' der eyeses full.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"An' den Cousin Rain come 'long, a-pursuin' Brer Dust, an' he come
+mighty nigh drownin' um. He left um kivver'd wid mud, an' dey wuz wuss
+off dan befo'. It wuz de longest 'fo' dey kin git de mud out 'n der eyes
+an' y'ears, an' when dey git so dey kin see a leetle bit, dey tuck
+notice dat Brer Rabbit, stidder bein' full er mud, wuz ez dry ez a chip,
+ef not dryer.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"It make um so mad, dat dey all put out atter 'im, an' try der level
+best fer ter ketch, but ef dey wuz anything in de roun' worl' dat Brer
+Rabbit's got, it's soople foots, an' 'twant no time 'fo' de yuther
+creeturs can't see ha'r ner hide un 'im! All de same Brer Rabbit aint
+bargain fer ter have two races de same day."
+
+"But, Uncle Remus," said the little boy, "which beat, Brother Dust or
+Cousin Rain?" The old man stirred uneasily in his chair, and rubbed his
+chin with his hand. "Dey tells me," he responded cautiously, "dat when
+Cousin Rain can't see nothin' er Brother Dust, he thunk he am beat, but
+he holla out, 'Brer Dust, wharbouts is you?' an' Brer Dust he holla
+back, 'You'll hatter scuzen me; I fell down in de mud an' can't run no
+mo'!'"

+    Dar once wuz a time when most er de creeturs

+BRER RABBIT AND THE GOLD MINE
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+There had been silence in the cabin for a long ten minutes, and Uncle
+Remus, looking up, saw a threat of sleep in the little boy's eyes.
+Whereupon he plunged headlong into a story without a word of
+explanation.
+
+"Well, suh, one year it fell out dat de craps wuz burnt up. A dry drouth
+had done de work, an' ef you'd 'a' struck a match anywhar in dat
+settlement, de whole county would 'a' blazed up. Ol' man Hongriness des
+natchally tuck of his cloze an' went paradin' 'bout eve'ywhar, an' de
+creeturs got bony an' skinny. Ol' Brer B'ar done better dan any un um,
+kaze all he hatter do wuz go ter sleep an' live off'n his own fat; an'
+Brer Rabbit an' his ol' 'oman had put some calamus root by, an' saved up
+some sugar-cane dat dey fin' lyin' 'roun' loose, an' _dey_ got 'long
+purty well. But de balance er de creeturs wuz dat ga'nt dat dey ain't
+got over it down ter dis day.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"De creeturs had der meetin'-place, whar dey could all set 'roun' an'
+talk de kind er politics dey had, des like folks does at de cross-roads
+grocery. One day, whiles dey wuz all settin' an' squottin' 'roun',
+jowerin' an' confabbin', Brer Rabbit, he up 'n' say, sezee, dat ol'
+Mammy-Bammy-Big-Money tol' his great gran'daddy dat dar wuz a mighty big
+an' fat gol' mine in deze parts, an' he say dat he wouldn't be 'tall
+'stonished ef 'twant some'rs close ter Brer B'ar's house. Brer B'ar, he
+growled, he did, an' say dat de gol' mine better not let him fin' it,
+kaze atter he got done wid it, dey won't be no gol' mine dar.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Some laughed, some grinned an' some gapped, an', atter jowerin' some
+mo', dey all put out ter whar der famblies wuz livin' at; but I boun'
+you dey ain't fergit 'bout dat gol' mine, kaze, fum dat time on, go whar
+you mought, you'd ketch some er de creeturs diggin' an' grabblin' in de
+groun', some in de fields, some in de woods, an' some in de big road;
+an' dey wuz so weak an' hongry dat dey kin skacely grabble fer fallin'
+down.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Well, dis went on fer de longest, but bimeby, one day, dey all 'gree
+dat sump'n bleeze ter be done, an' dey say dey'll all take one big hunt
+fer de gol' mine, an' den quit. Dey hunted in gangs, wid de gangs not
+fur fum one an'er, an' it so happen dat Brer Rabbit wuz in de gang wid
+Brer Wolf, an' he know'd dat he hatter keep his eyes wide open. All de
+creeturs hatter dig in diffunt places, an' whiles Brer Rabbit want much
+uv a grabbler, he had a way er makin' de yuthers b'lieve dat he wuz de
+best er de lot. So he made a heap er motion like he wuz t'arin' up de
+yeth. Dey ain't been gwine on dis away long fo' Brer Wolf holler out,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"'Run here, Brer Rabbit! I done foun' it!' Brer B'ar an' Brer Fox wuz
+bofe diggin' close by, an' Brer Rabbit kinder wunk one eye at de
+elements; he say, sezee, 'Glad I is fer yo' sake, Brer Wolf; git yo'
+gol' an' 'joy yo'se'f!' Brer Wolf say, 'Come git some, Brer Rabbit! Come
+git some!' Ol' Brer Rabbit 'spon', 'I'll take de leavin's, Brer Wolf;
+you take what you want, an' den when you done got 'nough I'll get de
+leetle bit I want.' Brer Wolf say, 'I wanter show you sump'n.' Brer
+Rabbit 'low, 'My eyes ain't big fer nothin'.' Brer Wolf say, 'I got a
+secret I wanter tell you.' Brer Rabbit 'low, 'My y'ears ain't long fer
+nothin'. Des stan' dar an' do yo' whisperin', Brer Wolf, an' I'll hear
+eve'y word you say.'
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Brer Wolf ain't say nothin', but make out he's grabblin', an' den, all
+of a sudden, he made a dash at Brer Rabbit, but when he git whar Brer
+Rabbit wuz at, Brer Rabbit ain't dar no mo'; he done gone. Weak an'
+hongry ez he is, Brer Wolf know dat he can't ketch Brer Rabbit, an' so
+he holler out, 'What's yo' hurry, Brer Rabbit? Whar you gwine?' Brer
+Rabbit holler back, 'I'm gwine home atter a bag fer ter tote de gol' you
+gwine leave me! So long, Brer Wolf; I wish you mighty well!' an' wid dat
+he put out fer home."

+BRER RABBIT GETS BRER FOX A HOSS
+
+

+
+    Not many er de creeturs wuz fon' er water,
+    Onless it mought 'a' been Brer Coon's daughter;
+    Brer B'ar, Brer Fox, an' ol' Brer Rabbit,
+    Dey vow'd dey can't never git in de habit
+    Er wadin' de creek, er swimmin' de river--
+    When it come ter dat, dey'd run ter kivver!
+    When folks come 'long fer ter git across,
+    De creeturs tuck notice dat dey rid a hoss.
+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    Brer Fox, he say he wish he had one,
+    An' 'mongst all de yuthers he'd be de glad un;
+    He'd git a bridle an' a bran' new saddle,
+    An' git on de hoss an' ride 'im straddle;
+    He say, sezee, "He'd do some trottin',
+    Kaze when I git started, I'm a mighty hot un!"
+    Brer Rabbit, he smole a great big smile,
+    Wid, "I can't ride myse'f, kaze I got a b'ile!
+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    "But it seem like ter me dat I knows whar a hoss is:

+    Brer Rabbit tip his hat, wid, "So-long, frien';
+    We'll git de hoss, you may depen'."
+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    Long 'fo' de time, Brer Rabbit wuz a-stirrin',
+    An' he chuckle ter hisse'f like a cat a-purrin';
+    De hoss wuz stretched out asleep in de pastur';
+    Brer Rabbit went up des ez close ez he dast ter,
+    Fer ter see ef he 'live: hoss switched his tail, suh!
+    "Dis time we'll git you widout fail, suh!"
+    So Brer Rabbit say; den he seed Brer Fox--

+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    Den he say out loud, "Good luck done sont 'im,

+    So said, so done! an' dar Brer Fox wuz,

+

+
+    De hoss, he riz wid a snort an' a whicker,

+
+    So, off he put, on his nimbles' foot,

+
+    But de sight dat he saw made 'im drap his jaw,
+        An' break up a great big grin!

+
+    [Illustration]
+

+
+    "Oh, you better bet dis water's wet!
+        I feel des like a sponge!"
+    An' den dey all, wid a kick an' a squall,
+        Wid a squeal an' den a lunge,
+
+    Grabbed at de water--which dey hadn't oughter

+
+HOW MR. LION LOST HIS WOOL
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Twuz des sech a day ez dis dat Mr Lion lost his wool," remarked Uncle
+Remus to the little boy, "Mr. Man tuck a notion dat de time done come
+fer him fer ter have a hog-killin' an' he got 'im a big barrel, an' fill
+it half full er water fum de big springs. Den he piled up 'bout a cord
+er wood, an' ez he piled, he put rocks 'twix' de logs, an' den he sot de
+wood after at bofe een's an' in de middle. 'Twan't long 'fo' dey had de
+hogs killt, an' eve'ything ready fer ter scrape de ha'r off. Den he tuck
+de red-hot rocks what he put in de fire, an' flung um in de barrel whar
+de water wuz, an' 'twan't long, mon, 'fo' dat water wuz ready fer ter
+bile. Den dey tuck de hogs, one at a time, an' soused um in de water,
+an' time dey tuck um out, he ha'r wuz ready fer ter drap out by de
+roots. Den dey'd scrape un wid sticks an' chips, an' dey aint leave a
+ha'r on um.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Well, bimeby, dey had all de hogs killt an' cleaned, an' hauled off,
+an' when eve'ything wuz still ez a settin' hen, ol' Brer Rabbit stuck
+his head out fum behine a bush whar he been settin' at. He stuck his
+head out, he did, an' look all 'roun', an' den he went whar de fier wuz
+an' try fer ter warm hisse'f. He aint been dar long 'fo' here come Brer
+Wolf an' Brer Fox, an den he got busy.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"He say, 'Hello, frien's! howdy an' welcome! I 'm des fixin' fer ter
+take a warm baff like Mr. Man gi' his hogs; wont you j'ine me?' Dey say
+dey aint in no hurry, but dey holp Brer Rabbit put de hot rocks in de
+barrel an' dey watch de water bubble, an' bimeby, when eve'ything wuz
+ready, who should walk up but ol' Mr. Lion?
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"He had a mane fum his head plum ter de een' er his tail, an' in some
+places it wuz so long it drug on de groun'--dat what make all de
+creeturs 'fear'd un 'im. He growl an' ax um what dey doin', an' when
+Brer Rabbit tell 'im, he say dat's what he long been needin'. 'How does
+you git in?' 'Des back right in,' sez ol' Brer Rabbit, sezee, an' wid
+dat,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Mr. Lion backed in, an' de water wuz so hot, he try fer ter git out,
+an' he slipped in plum ter his shoulder-blades. You kin b'lieve me er
+not, but dat creetur wuz scall'd so dat he holler'd an' skeer'd
+eve'ybody fur miles aroun'.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"An when he come out, all de wool drap't out, 'cep' de bunch you see on
+his neck, an' de leetle bit you'll fin' on de een' er his tail--an'
+dat'd 'a' come off ef de tail hadn't 'a' slipped thoo de bung-hole er de
+barrel." With that, Uncle Remus closed his eyes, but not so tightly that
+he couldn't watch the little boy. For a moment the child said nothing,
+and then, "I must tell that tale to mother before I forget it!" So
+saying, he ran out of the cabin as fast as his feet could carry him,
+leaving Uncle Remus shaking with laughter.

+
+HOW BRER RABBIT GOT A HOUSE
+
+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    Oh, once 'pon a time, all de creeturs, all de creeturs,
+        Tuck a notion dat dey'd build a house,
+    An' fix it so ez ter keep out de skeeters,
+        An' fix it up nix cummy rous!
+    Dey all wuz dar fum de B'ar ter de Possum,
+        Brer Wolf, Brer Fox, Brer Coon,

+        Kaze dey hatter have de' house right soon.
+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    Brer Rabbit, he wuz busy, oh, yes, mighty busy,
+        Not doin' uv a blessed thing;
+    Ef he clim' de scaffle, he say he'll git dizzy,
+        So he medjur an' mark an' sing.
+    Dey buil' de house, an' it sho wuz a fine un,
+        Made er poplar, oak an' pine;
+    De littlest room wuz a sev'm-by-nine un,
+        Whar de sick could go an' whine!
+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    Brer Rabbit, he wait, an' when de time come
+        He choosened a upsta's room,
+    An' dar he sot (ef I kin make de rhyme come)
+        A-singin' "Hark fum de Toom"!
+    An' den he got what he aint had oughter,
+        Ez all de creeturs said,
+    A gun, a cannon, an' a tub er water,
+        An' hid um under his bed!
+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    When de creeturs come home, Brer Rabbit wuz ready,
+        An' he tell um he gwineter set down;
+    "Well, set," sez dey, "an' we'll try ter be ste'dy,"
+        An' wid dat, Brer Rabbit kinder frown;
+    Bang-bang! went de gun--de barrels wuz double--
+        An' de creeturs wuz still ez mice;
+    Brer B'ar he say, "Dy must be some trouble,
+      But I hope heedon't loosen de j'is!"
+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    Brer Rabbit, he say, "Wharbouts mus' I spit at?"
+        An' Brer Wolf answer, wid a grin,
+    "Des wharsomever you kin make it hit at!"
+        Brer Fox, he rub his chin;
+    Brer Rabbit, he tuck de tub er water,
+        An' empty it all on de sta'rs,
+    An' it come nigh drownin' Brer Coon's daughter.
+        An' likewise one er Brer B'ar's!
+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    Brer Rabbit say, "When I sneeze I'll skeer you,
+        An' I hate fer ter have it ter do!"
+    Brer Fox say, "We'll lissen an' hear you
+        Des go right ahead wid yo' sneeze-a-ma-roo!"
+    Boom-a-lam! went de cannon, an' de creeturs, dey lit out
+        Thoo window-sash an' do'
+    Any way, any way dat dey kin git oot,
+        An' dey aint come dar no mo'!

+BRER RABBIT AND THE PARTRIDGE NEST
+
+

+
+    Oh, what's de matter wid de Whipperwill,
+    Dat she sets an' cries on de furder hill?
+    An' what's de matter wid Miss Bob White,
+    Dat she choke herse'f wid sayin' Good-night?
+    You know mighty well dat sump'n is wrong

+    Dey must be tellin' a mighty sad tale.
+

+

+    Will do fer ter tell some yuther day;
+    But Miss Bob White--my! aint she a sight?--
+    I'll hatter tell why she hollers Good-night.
+    Dey once wuz a time (needer mo' ner less)
+    When she ain't try ter hide ner kivver her nes';
+    She built it in de open, whar all kin see,
+    An' wuz des ez perlite ez she kin be.
+

+

+    Fer ter keep um warm she'd brood an' set,
+    An' keep her house fum gittin' wet.
+    Whiles dis gwine on, Brer Rabbit come by,
+    A-wigglin' his mouf, an' a-blinkin' his eye:
+    "De top er de mornin', Miss Bob," sezee;
+    "De same ter you, Brer Rabbit," se' she.
+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    Sez ol' Brer Rabbit, "I been missin' you long,
+    I wuz mighty fear'd dat sump'n wuz wrong,
+    But here you set ez still ez a mouse,
+    Not doin' nothin' but keepin' house!"
+    "Oh, well," se' she, "I'm too ol' ter gad,
+    I use' ter do it, but I wish I never had!
+    De only thing I want is ter wash my dress,
+    But I can't do dat whiles I'm on my nes'."
+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    Brer Rabbit, he say, "Can't I he'p you out?
+    I ain't doin' nothin' but walkin' about,
+    An' my ol' 'oman is willin' fer ter bet
+    Dat ef settin 's de thing, I'm ol' man Set!"
+    "I know mighty well," sez Miss Bob White,
+    "Ef you set a-tall, it'll be done right."
+    "Thanky-do, Miss Bob! Go wash yo' dress,
+    An' I'll do what I kin fer ter kivver yo' nes'!"
+
+    [Illustration]
+
+    So off she put, wid a flutter an' a flirt,
+    An' washed her dress in a pile er clean dirt;
+    Brer Rabbit see de eggs, an' shuck his head;
+    His mouf 'gun ter dribble, an' his eye turn red;

+    "Much erbleege, Brer Rabbit," an' den she bowed.
+    "Say nothin', ma'am, fer ter make me proud,

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
