Brother Horse and the Trick he Played
Long ago before the creation of Horse Pens 40, Brother Horse was walking about the forest on a spring day and was so bored that he could hardly think of a single trick to play, that was until he noticed Brother Bear taking a nap by a minnow hole. Brother Horse suddenly got an excellent but cruel idea and began gathering materials for his next infamous prank. (You see little do today's young folks know that Brother Bear once had a luxurious and beautiful tail, that is, until Brother Horse performed his evilest prank.)
So, while Brother Bear was napping, Brother Horse gathered up the forest's biggest beehive with the branches of a hemlock tree and slowly dragged it to the hill above the minnow hole. Once Brother Horse was in position, he grabbed the hemlock branches and he threw the beehive down the hill and it landed smack on Brother Bear's beautiful tail, breaking the hive open and spilling the honey and the bees all over Brother Bear. Brother Bear was completely startled and panic stricken that that he tried to dash to the minnow hole but on the the way his tail became stuck in between two rocks. Brother Bear struggled so hard to get away from the very angry bees that he ripped his tail clean off and tripped right into the minnow hole. Brother Bear caused such a stir around the minnow hole that all the near by animals came to see what was going on, only to find Brother Bear totally drenched and Brother Horse laughing so hard that his hooves almost fell off. All the Brothers and Sisters of the forest laughed so much that Brother Bear vowed never to befriend any of them ever again. To this day the bear lives a solitary life and the minnows always hide at any disturbance.
