The second of five in the series of Disney's Wonderful World of Reading books featuring adaptations of the original Uncle Remus stories.

Synopsis 

Brer Rabbit gets stuck in a well and tricks Brer Fox into switching positions. He finds a hollow tree trunk full of bees and tells Brer Bear it's full of honey. He reaches in and gets chased away by bees. Later, Brer Bear and Fox fill a hole in the road with syrup to catch Brer Rabbit. He falls in and rolls around until he is covered with branches. They come back to get him and Brer Rabbit scares them off with the "disguise".

 Comments 

The animation isn't as good this time around, but the stories are decent adaptations of the original Uncle Remus stories. The sentences are so simple it almost hurts to read them. Fun nonetheless.
