Can’t you see that you’re stepping on my foot?”  \nHippo apologized to Rabbit.“I’m so sorry, my friend. I didn’t see you.  \nPlease forgive me!”  \nBut Rabbit wouldn’t listen and he shouted at Hippo.“You did that on purpose!  \nSomeday, you’ll see! You’re going to pay!”  \nThen Rabbit went to find Fire and said,“Go, burn Hippo when she comes out of the water to eat grass.”  \nThen Fire answered,“No problem, Rabbit, my friend. I’ll do just what you asked.”","cbCaiu2d1LqZ7kE8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu2d1LqZ7kE8","pdf",12267829,15,"English","en",105,"# Rabbit Makes Friends With Fire\n## A traditional tale from the Nyungwe people of Mozambique","[{\"question\":\"What is the origin of the story \\\"Rabbit Makes Friends With Fire\\\"?\",\"answer\":\"The story is a traditional tale from the Nyungwe people of Mozambique.\"},{\"question\":\"Who illustrated the book \\\"Rabbit Makes Friends With Fire\\\"?\",\"answer\":\"The illustrations for \\\"Rabbit Makes Friends With Fire\\\" were done by Carol Liddiment.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the main conflict in the beginning of the story?\",\"answer\":\"The main conflict begins when Hippo accidentally steps on Rabbit's foot by the riverside, leading to Rabbit's anger and desire for revenge.\"}]",1784310995,23,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":84,"head_meta":86,"extra_data":88,"updated_unix":26},"rabbit-makes-friends-with-fire-a-traditional-tale-from-the-nyungwe-people-of-mozambique","",{"@graph":34,"@context":83},[35,52,66],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/rabbit-makes-friends-with-fire-a-traditional-tale-from-the-nyungwe-people-of-mozambique/92033/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":60,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":61,"interactionStatistic":62},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":63,"interactionType":64,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":65},"ViewAction",{"@type":67,"mainEntity":68},"FAQPage",[69,75,79],{"name":70,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":72},"What is the origin of the story \"Rabbit Makes Friends With Fire\"?","Question",{"text":73,"@type":74},"The story is a traditional tale from the Nyungwe people of Mozambique.","Answer",{"name":76,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":77},"Who illustrated the book \"Rabbit Makes Friends With Fire\"?",{"text":78,"@type":74},"The illustrations for \"Rabbit Makes Friends With Fire\" were done by Carol Liddiment.",{"name":80,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":81},"What is the main conflict in the beginning of the story?",{"text":82,"@type":74},"The main conflict begins when Hippo accidentally steps on Rabbit's foot by the riverside, leading to Rabbit's anger and desire for revenge.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":85,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":87,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":90},[91,94,98,102,107,112,117,122,127,130,134],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":93},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":95,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":97},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":99,"show_sort_weight":100,"slug":101},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":103,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":108,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
