Long time ago there lived a
ferocious lion in the forest. It was a greedy lion and started killing all the
animals in the forest. Seeing this, the animals gathered and decided to
approach the lion with the offer of one animal of each species volunteering itself
to be eaten by the lion every day. So every day it was the turn of one of the
animals and in the end came the rabbits' turn. The rabbits chose a old rabbit
among them. The rabbit old was wise. It decided to take its own sweet time to
go to the Lion. The Lion was getting impatient on not seeing any animal come by
and swore to kill all animals the next day.
The rabbit then went to the
Lion by sunset. The Lion was angry at him. But the wise rabbit was calm and
slowly told the Lion that it was not his fault. He told the Lion that a group
of rabbits were coming to him for the day but on the way, an angry Lion
attacked them all and ate all rabbits but Somehow he escaped to reach safely,
the rabbit said. He said that the other Lion was challenging the supremacy of
the Lion. The Lion was naturally very enraged and asked to be taken to the
location of the other Lion.
The wise rabbit agreed and
led the Lion towards a deep well filled with water. Then he showed the Lion his
reflection in the water of the well. The Lion was furious and started growling
and naturally its image in the water, the other Lion, was also equally angry.
Then the Lion jumped into the water to attack the other Lion and kill it but
lost its life in the well. Thus the wise rabbit saved the forest and all
animals from the proud Lion.
