The following story of the Wisconsin winebagos illustrates the lack of skill of the swindler (in this case, the Great Hare) and the superficiality of many stories about this character. While she was taking a nap, the Great Hare killed several ducks, put them on a fireplace and asked her son-in-law to watch. The foxes stole a person's flesh, and when she woke up and saw what had happened, the Great Liew approached her anus and asked her angrily, "Didn't I tell you to watch the fire?" I'll give you a lesson! He took a tea and burned the entrance of the anus as he screamed.
The Great Hare walked away, shrieking at her naivety. Along the way, he found a piece of fat. He began to eat it, and it seemed to him very tasty, but suddenly he realized that it was his own intestines, which had gone out of his anus. "How right people are when they call me an idiot!" he exclaimed as he was putting his intestines back. In doing so, he pulled hard to draw wrinkles and curves, resulting in the human anus.
