Quote from user: Lars JensenQuote from user: Dutch Duckfan Down UnderBut it also shows Brer Rabbit as a robber, and Brer Bear as just an honest fellow who is more stupid than a donkey's end. He doesn't need to be punished.
I haven't read those recent Dutch stories. But are you sure you aren't exaggerating? In many older stories, Brer Rabbit is simply portrayed as an occasional thief. A robber is someone who physically assaults someone and steals what they have (like, say, a stick-up guy or a bank robber), and as far as I know Brer Rabbit has never done that kind of thing.
Allright, I'm exaggerating a bit. I didn't know there was such a big difference between thief and robber. He uses tricks to get the carrots. So that's still a little bit of the old Brer Rabbit.
The last time a Dutch story showed Brer Fox and Brer trying to cook Brer Rabbit, was in late 2008. He has been tricking Brer Bear ever since. I think it's time for a little variety, right?
