<i>the great Frith made the world.</i>

2
00:00:19,136 --> 00:00:21,196
<i>He made all the stars...</i>

3
00:00:24,308 --> 00:00:27,107
<i>...and the world lived among the stars.</i>

4
00:00:33,850 --> 00:00:36,513
<i>Frith made all the animals and birds...</i>

5
00:00:36,687 --> 00:00:39,589
<i>...and, at first, made them all the same.</i>

6
00:00:40,591 --> 00:00:45,461
<i>Now, among the animals was El-ahrairah,</i>
<i>the Prince of Rabbits.</i>

7
00:00:47,664 --> 00:00:49,633
<i>He had many friends...</i>

8
00:00:52,169 --> 00:00:54,764
<i>...and they all ate grass together.</i>

9
00:00:55,239 --> 00:00:57,970

<i>the rabbits wandered everywhere...</i>

10

<i>...multiplying and eating as they went.</i>

11
00:01:06,850 --> 00:01:09,285
<i>Then Frith said to El-ahrairah:</i>

12
00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:13,012
<i>"Prince Rabbit, if you cannot</i>
<i>control your people...</i>

13
00:01:13,690 --> 00:01:16,489
<i>...I shall find ways to control them."</i>

14
00:01:16,693 --> 00:01:19,162
<i>El-ahrairah would not listen,</i>
<i>and said to Frith:</i>

15
00:01:19,863 --> 00:01:22,833
<i>"My people are the strongest</i>
<i>in the world."</i>

16
00:01:24,968 --> 00:01:29,429
<i>This angered Frith, so he determined</i>
<i>to get the better of El-ahrairah.</i>

17
00:01:29,606 --> 00:01:32,701
<i>He gave a present</i>
<i>to every animal and bird...</i>

18
00:01:33,043 --> 00:01:36,070
<i>...making each one</i>
<i>different from the rest.</i>

19
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,308
<i>When the fox came,</i>
<i>and others like the dog and cat...</i>

20
00:01:41,485 --> 00:01:43,716
<i>...the hawk and weasel...</i>

21
00:01:46,156 --> 00:01:49,558
<i>...to each of them,</i>
<i>Frith gave a fierce desire...</i>

22
00:01:49,726 --> 00:01:52,787
<i>...to hunt and slay</i>
<i>the children of El-ahrairah.</i>

23
00:02:04,908 --> 00:02:09,608
<i>El-ahrairah knew that Frith was</i>
<i>too clever for him, and he was frightened.</i>

24
00:02:09,813 --> 00:02:13,215
<i>He had never before seen</i>
<i>the Black Rabbit of Death.</i>

25
00:02:18,088 --> 00:02:23,049
<i>"My friend," said Frith,</i>
<i>"Have you seen El-ahrairah?</i>

26
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,956
<i>For I wish to give him a gift."</i>

28
00:02:27,831 --> 00:02:31,359
<i>No, I have not seen him."</i>

29
00:02:31,535 --> 00:02:35,734
<i>So, Frith said,</i>
<i>"Come out, and I will bless you instead."</i>

30

<i>"No, I cannot. I am busy.</i>
<i>The fox and weasel are coming.</i>

31

<i>you will have to bless my bottom."</i>

<i>"Very well. Be it so."</i>

33
00:02:49,353 --> 00:02:54,451
<i>And El-ahrairah's tail grew shining white,</i>
<i>and it flashed like a star.</i>

Come out.

997
01:25:03,244 --> 01:25:05,645
My chief's told me to defend this run.

998
01:25:05,813 --> 01:25:08,248
Your chief?

999
01:25:08,549 --> 01:25:11,951
Run! Run for your lives!

1000
01:25:29,470 --> 01:25:32,201
Come back! Come back, you fools!

1001
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:34,274
Come back!

1002
01:25:34,441 --> 01:25:37,809
Come back and fight!
Dogs aren't dangerous!

1003
01:25:51,525 --> 01:25:54,427
NARRATOR: <i>General Woundwort's body</i>
<i>was never found.</i>

1004
01:25:56,497 --> 01:26:00,366
<i>It could be that he still lives his fierce life</i>
<i>somewhere else.</i>

1005
01:26:00,534 --> 01:26:03,902
<i>But from that day on,</i>
<i>mother rabbits would tell their kittens...</i>

1006
01:26:04,071 --> 01:26:06,472
<i>...that if they did not do</i>
<i>as they were told...</i>

1007
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:08,575
<i>...the General would get them.</i>

1008
01:26:08,742 --> 01:26:11,075
<i>Such was Woundwort's monument.</i>

1009
01:26:11,812 --> 01:26:15,544
<i>Perhaps it would not have displeased him.</i>

1010
01:26:27,127 --> 01:26:30,859
HYZENTHLAY: El-ahrairah knew, then,
that Frith was his friend.

1011
01:26:32,066 --> 01:26:35,833
Every evening,
when Frith has done his day's work...

1012
01:26:36,036 --> 01:26:38,938
...and lies calm and easy in the red sky...

1013
01:26:39,740 --> 01:26:44,041
...El-ahrairah and his children,
and his children's children...

1014
01:26:44,445 --> 01:26:48,576
...come out of their holes
and feed and play in his sight.

1015
01:26:49,483 --> 01:26:52,612
For they are his friends,
and he has promised--

1016
01:26:52,786 --> 01:26:53,981
BLACK RABBIT:
<i>Hazel.</i>

1017
01:26:54,154 --> 01:26:56,646
HYZENTHLAY:
--that they can never be destroyed.

1018
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:00,955
BLACK RABBIT:
<i>Hazel.</i>

1019
01:27:04,465 --> 01:27:07,367
<i>- You know me, don't you?</i>
HAZEL: I don't.

1020
01:27:09,370 --> 01:27:10,861
Yes, my Lord.

1021
01:27:11,405 --> 01:27:12,805
I know you.

1022
01:27:13,374 --> 01:27:16,811
BLACK RABBIT: <i>I've come to ask</i>
<i>if you would like to join my Owsla.</i>

1023
01:27:17,978 --> 01:27:22,416
<i>We shall be glad</i>
<i>to have you, and I know you'd like it.</i>

1024
01:27:24,385 --> 01:27:27,150
<i>You've been feeling tired,</i>
<i>haven't you?</i>

1025
01:27:28,389 --> 01:27:31,416
<i>If you're ready,</i>
<i>we might go along now.</i>

1026
01:27:34,762 --> 01:27:38,164
<i>You needn't worry about them.</i>
<i>They'll be all right...</i>

1027
01:27:38,332 --> 01:27:40,324
<i>...and thousands like them.</i>

1028
01:27:41,168 --> 01:27:44,935
<i>If you'll come along,</i>
<i>I'll show you what I mean.</i>

1029
01:28:01,989 --> 01:28:07,428
NARRATOR: <i>All the world will be your</i>
<i>enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies.</i>

1030
01:28:08,128 --> 01:28:11,462
<i>Whenever they catch you,</i>
<i>they will kill you.</i>

1031
01:28:14,168 --> 01:28:16,660
<i>But first, they must catch you...</i>

1032
01:28:17,071 --> 01:28:20,508
<i>...digger, listener, runner.</i>

1033
01:28:20,674 --> 01:28:23,041
<i>Prince with the swift warren.</i>

1034
01:28:24,211 --> 01:28:25,873
<i>Be cunning...</i>

1035
01:28:26,046 --> 01:28:29,676
<i>...and your people</i>
<i>will never be destroyed.</i>
