Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings, XXXII. "jacky-my-lantern" *1, sentence 49

*1 This story is popular on the coast and among the rice- plantations, and, since the publication of some of the animal-myths in the newspapers, I have received a version of it from a planter in southwest Georgia; but it seems to me to be an intruder among the genuine myth-stories of the negroes.

Who acts: story, I, it · What happens: be, receive, seem · To what, where: coast, version, planter, me, intruder
