Once upon a time in a dense forest, there lived a fierce and greedy lion who troubled all the animals. To stop his endless hunting, the animals made an agreement. Every day, one animal would willingly go to the lion as his meal. All the animals were sad, but they had no other choice.
One day, it was a clever little rabbit’s turn. He was not only small but also very wise. Instead of going straight to the lion, the rabbit took his time and thought of a plan to save himself and the other animals. He reached the lion very late. The angry lion roared, “Why are you so late? I am very hungry!”
The rabbit politely said, “On the way, another lion stopped me. He claimed to be the real king of this forest.” The lion was furious. “Take me to him right now!” he demanded.
The rabbit led him to a deep well and pointed inside. The lion saw his reflection and thought it was another lion. He roared, and the echo roared back. In anger, the lion jumped into the well to fight—and drowned.
The clever rabbit returned safely. The animals cheered for him and lived happily ever after.
Moral: Wisdom is mightier than strength.
