Br'er Rabbit Earns a Dollar a Minute

It is famous for its inclusion among Joel Chandler Harris' Uncle Remus stories.

[1] Although its folk roots most likely trace back to ancient Africa, the folktale's first written appearance[citation needed] was as a chapter titled "Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Bear" in Uncle Remus: His Songs and Sayings, published in 1881.

Like many short stories featuring Br'er Rabbit, the tale describes one of the trickster's successful attempts to talk his way out of a difficult situation.

Suspended awkwardly in mid-air, unable to free himself, he worries what will happen when Br'er Fox finds him caught in his trap.

The story was used in the movie Song of the South, along with "The Tar Baby" and "The Laughing Place", but with one difference; Brer Rabbit, instead of intending to steal some of Brer Fox's peanut crop, decided to run away, fed up with life at his briar patch, and while running away he happens to get caught in a snare trap set by Brer Fox, right at the edge of a cornfield.
