Chapter 6 is a creation story. Frith makes the animals, but the rabbits overrun the earth with their eating and multiplying. Frith has to do something about the rabbits so he sends out a message that he is holding a meeting, where every animal will get a gift.
All the animals go to the gathering, except El-ahrairah. El-ahrairah is going to go though, and when El-ahrairah is on his way to go, a bird comes up to him and tells him what gifts Frith gave to the predators.
