Friend or foe.

Br'er Fox and Sock Monkey together at Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World. Is Br'er Fox a friend or foe? Br'er Fox is holding a sharp metal object in his hand and clearly he doesn't look as if he's going to chop down a tree, foe of course. If it wasn't for the Laughing Place or the sing along at the end of the attraction, I'd think Br'er Rabbit may have never made it to the end of the story, but he's one smart cottontail. "Pppplease...not the briar patch!"
