Story:
Once Upon a time there was a ferocious
lion in a forest, which killed all the animals without a cause. He just killed
for pleasure. Seeing this, the animals were not happy with the situation. The animals
gathered and decided to approach the lion with the offer that they would send one
animal to him every day and he should stop killing them without a cause. The
lion agreed to this. So every day it was turn of one of the animals.
One day, it was the turn of a rabbit. All
the animals bid farewell to the rabbit with heavy hearts. The rabbit was
walking very slowly and thinking of some way to get rid of the cruel lion
forever.
In the mean while the lion was getting
angry on not seeing any animal at the cave and decide to kill all animals the
next day.
The rabbit then went to the Lion of the
cave, it was already very late. The lion was angry at him because of the delay.
When he saw a small rabbit coming towards him, he became angrier. But the
clever rabbit was calm and slowly told the Lion that it was not his fault.
The rabbit said “I am extremely sorry
for the delay. A group of rabbits were coming for you but on the way, an angry
lion attacked them and ate all the rabbits. Somehow he escaped to reach safely.
He said that he is the real king of jungle and wants to teach you a lesson”.
After listening to the rabbit, the lion
reacted angrily and asked to be taken to the location of the other lion. The clever
rabbit agreed and asked the lion to follow him. The rabbit took the lion towards
a deep well filled with water. By showing the well the rabbit said “That lion
lives inside this well. You can check yourself”.
By seeing into the well, he saw his own
reflection in the well and thought it to be another lion. With that the lion
became so enraged and jumped into the deep well to attack the other lion and
kill it but lost its life in the well.
The clever rabbit saved the forest and all
the animals became very happy to hear the news.
Moral
of the Story:
“By applying the
right tactics, even a bigger enemy can be defeated. Intelligence wins over
might”
