The story of the clever rabbit and the foolish lion begins in a forest. In this forest, there is a lion. Because of his greed, this lion scared off other animals. He killed the creatures he hunted, which is why the other animals in the forest were afraid of him. He even killed these innocent animals even if he wasn’t hungry. These animals knew their fate and that not one of them would be spared.
One day, the animals gathered and they planned that they would present one animal to the greedy lion each day. Then after deciding, they head to the lion. They presented their request to the greedy lion. They told the lion to hear them out and that they would present one animal each day to the lion because if he kept on hunting and killing them all, none would be alive. The lion was okay with this plan and following that day, the animal would pick the animal that would be sent to the lion and this will become the lion’s meal.
Then the day arrived for a young rabbit to be presented to the greedy lion. The rabbit didn’t want to become the lion’s meal and so he came up with a plan. This clever rabbit devised a plan to get rid of the greedy lion for good. After deep thinking, the rabbit devised a plan.
The day that the rabbit was supposed to become the lion’s meal, he arrived very late and this made the lion quite angry. Then he started walking slowly towards the lion’s den. The rabbit even took a nap on the way before he reached the lion’s den. By the time he arrived, it was already sunset.
While waiting for the rabbit, the lion was getting impatient and angry. When he saw the rabbit coming, he let out a roar and expressed how he had waited the whole day and all the animals sent was the little rabbit. He yelled about how small the rabbit was and that he would punish the animals for sending him this small meal and he threatened to kill them all.
This threat scared the little rabbit. He remained calm and he said that the animals sent lots of rabbits for the lion, however on the way here another interrupted them. The little rabbit also said that this lion declared that he was the new king of the forest.
He further explained that he told the other lion that they had another brave lion as their ruler. The second lion warned the lion to leave the jungle immediately or face certain death, and informed him that the other five rabbits were with him.
This made the greedy lion furious and he then instructed the little rabbit to take him to meet the other lion. He planned to kill the other lion and end the matter once and for all. The rabbit then took the greedy lion to meet the other lion.
The rabbit led the greedy lion to meet the other lion. He took him to a deep well and told him that this is where the lion lines. The stupid lion roared, unaware that he was staring at his reflection. He also heard his echo and thought it was the other lion.
To kill the second lion, he leaped into the well. However, he met his demise. The greedy lion hit his head on the rocks, fell into the well, and then drowned. Afterward, the little rabbit ran to tell the other animals in the jungle how he had saved them all and that they were no longer under the reign of the greedy lion.
