Read the following passages: Prairie Rabbit did not always have long ears. Long ago,
when Prairie Rabbit had small ears, Mother Earth told him
to stay away from the Wampanoag people's cornfields. But
Prairie Rabbit did not listen. He loved to hop through the
cornfields and chew the sweet kernels. The Wampanoag
people were upset with Prairie Rabbit. They called out to
Mother Earth for help. So Mother Earth stretched the ears
of the Prairie Rabbit. Again, she told him to stay out of the
cornfields. This time, his long ears heard loud and clear.
Grandfather taught us the prayers they would say for the
corn harvest each year. As he talked, he rattled a few dried
kernels in one of wrinkled hands. I tried to picture those
hands sowing seeds long ago, when Grandfather and the
other Wampanoag people lived in Massachusetts.
