THe lion and the wise rabbit

Once upon a time there lived a ferocious lion in the forest.
It was greedy lion and started killing animals in the forest to satisfy its
appetite.The animals were very scared and feared the fate.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 ereryday.

So everyday it was the turn of one of the animals.Each animal went prey to the
lion crying every day bidding goodbye to its family and friends.This custom
continued and there was unpleasantness everywhere in the forest and it was
time for the rabbit to go now.The rabbits chosen an old rabbit among them.
The rabbit was wise. It took its own sweet time togo to the Lion.
The Lion was getting impatient on ot seeing any animal come by and swore to
kill all animals the next day.

The rabbit then strode along to the Lion by sunset.The Lion was angry with him.
But the wise rabbit was calm and slowly told the Lion that it was not his fault.
He said "Don't get angry at me Lion,I wanted to come to you early,but I saw
another fierce lion like you on the way,and he tried to eat me.I had to run from
him to come to you."

He also said that other Lion was challenging the supremacy of his Lordship the Lion.
The Lion was fierce after hearing this from the rabbit.Then the lion asked
"Take me to the place you met the other lion who challenged me. I will tear him
apart and prove that I'm the greatest." The wise rabbit agreed and let the Lion
towards a deep well filled with water.Then he showed the Lion his reflection
in the water of the well and said,"Look dear Lord,look at that lion that looks just
like you." The Lion was furious and started growling and naturally its image in the
water,the other Lion,was also equally angry.The lion showed its paws warning the
other lion and the reflection warned him too.

The lion got too impatient and angry and said,"little rabbit wait here I will go
kill the other lion and come to eat you."

Then the Lion jumped into the water at the other Lion to attack it,and so lost its life
in the well.Thus the wise rabbit saved the forest and its inhabitants from the
proud Lion.
