The Clever Rabbit and The Foolish Lion

Terro Lion was a very proud lion. He was a real

terror in the jungle. He often just roared and

killed animals, even if he was not very hungry.

The terrified animals of the jungle one day

called for a meeting.

We must put and end to this menace Forro

fox cried. But how wondered the other

animals.

Lion is so big and strong, none of can even

touches him. I guess we will have to just live

with this, more likely die with this!

But Buns Rabbit was not the kind to give up. He

thought of a plan.

Next day Merry Monkey went to the lion and

told him, My majestic lord! You are so mighty,

you are lord of us all. But you know what, Buns

Rabbit says he has seen someone even more

powerful than you.

Lion on hearing this roared. He asked Merry to

go and send Buns Rabbit to him.

The clever Buns came up to Lion. Hey Buns,

you puny fellow, whats all this nonsense about

a more powerful lion than me in the jungle!

roared Lion.

Buns said, My lord, you are indeed mighty.

Forgive me, I am just telling what I saw. I saw a

huge lion yesterday.

Lion roared aloud, Where is he? I will have

him for breakfast today! There is no one

mightier than me. Take me to him.

The clever Buns took Lion to a lake. He then

pointed to the water in the lake and said, My

lord, I saw that huge lion cooling off in this

lake.

Lion peeped into the water. He saw his own face

in the water. He roared loudly. He saw his

image in the water roaring back at him. He was

so angry, that he forgot everything, even that he

didnt know how to swim...

How dare you roar back at mighty me? I will

finish you. He cried and jumped right into the

lake. Lion drowned.

Buns Rabbit happily took the news of Lions end

to the other animals. There was joy in the

jungle.
