Clever Rabbit
One day, as
per the plan, all the animals of the forest gathered under a big tree. They
invited the Lion, the king of the forest to attend the meeting. In the meeting,
the representative of the animals said, “Your majesty, we are grateful, that
you are our king. We are all the more happy that you are attending this
meeting.” The Lion thanked them and replied, “What is the matter? Why have we
gathered here?” One of the animals stood up and said, “Sir, it is natural that
you have to kill us for food. But, killing more than what is required is not a
good approach. If you go on killing the animals without any purpose, very soon
a day will come, when there will be no animal left in the forest, “ The Lion
roared, “So what are you proposing?” one of the animals replied, “Your majesty,
we have already discussed the problem among ourselves and have come up with a
solution. We have decided to send one animal daily to your den. You can kill
and eat it, the way you like. This will also save you the trouble of hunting.” The
Lion replied, “Fine. I agree to this proposal, but make sure that the animal
reaches me on time, otherwise, I will kill all the animals of the forest.” The
animals agreed.
From that
day onwards, an animal was sent to the Lion daily to become his meal. The lion
was very happy to have his food right before him without taking any pains of
hunting. A day came when it was the turn of the rabbit to go to the Lion’s den.
The rabbit thought of a plan that would save his life and the lives of the
other animals in the forest. He took his own sweet time to go the lion and
reached the Lion’s den a little later than the usual time.
The Lion was
getting impatient and he was extremely furious when he saw a small rabbit for
his meal. He swore to kill all the animals. The rabbit with folded hands
hesitatingly explained, “Your majesty. I am not to be blamed for my delay.
Actually, six rabbits were sent to make your meal, but five of them were killed
and devoured by another lion.” He also claimed to be the king of the forest. I
have somehow escaped to reach here safely.
The Lion
howled in great anger and said, “Impossible, there cannot be another king of
this forest. I’ll kill him. Take me to the place where you saw him. “The intelligent
rabbit agreed and took the Lion towards a deep well, filled with water. When
they reached the well, the rabbit said, “This is the place where he lives. He
might be hiding inside.” The Lion looked into the well and saw his own
reflection. He thought that it was the other Lion. The Lion was furious and
started growling. Naturally the image in the water, the other Lion, was also
equally angry. In order to kill the other Lion, he jumped into the well and
drowned. Thus, the jubilant rabbit saved all the animals from the Lion and they
all lived cheerfully thereafter.
