The Lion and the Rabbit
The next day onwards one of the animals went into the lion’s palace. Thus comes our rabbit’s turn.
Actually, he was trembling, plucking up courage, he went down on his belly and bowed before the lion, “Your Highness, you are a brave and fearsome creature-the king of the jungle”, he continued, “On my way, I saw another lion in the well near that old banyan tree”.
“Another lion in my kingdom,” asked the lion angrily,
Looking into the red eyes of the lion, he continued, when he saw me, he said, “Tell that fool I am waiting for him.” The lion was determined to get to the bottom of the matter. “Come on, I want to meet him at once”, The lion ordered the rabbit.
“My Highness,” answered the rabbit in a shaking voice, “He is so furious, be careful”
“Oh ho, I am more furious than him”, Come on let’s go.
The clever rabbit led the lion to the well.
Sprang on the well and the lion peeped into it. He couldn’t believe his eyes, he saw his image and thought it was another lion. He roared angrily and jumped into the well to attack him.
Poor hero, there was no lion, he struggled hard to get out of the well, all in vain. It was a deep well of more than half water.
The clever rabbit was praised by all the other animals in the forest, and all of them lived happily ever after.
