Long time ago there lived a ferocious lion in the forest. It was a greedy lion and started
killing all the animals in the forest. Seeing this, the animals gathered and decided to
approach the lion with the offer of one animal of each species volunteering itself to be
end came the rabbits' turn. The rabbits chose a old rabbit among them. The rabbit old was
wise. It decided to take its own sweet time to go to the Lion. The Lion was getting
impatient on not seeing any animal come by and swore to kill all animals the next day.
The rabbit then went to the Lion by sunset. The Lion was angry at him. But the wise
rabbit was calm and slowly told the Lion that it was not his fault. He told the Lion that a
group of rabbits were coming to him for the day but on the way, an angry Lion attacked
them all and ate all rabbits but himself. Somehow he escaped to reach safely, the rabbit
said. He said that the other Lion was challenging the supremacy of the Lion. The Lion
was naturally very enraged and asked to be taken to the location of the other Lion.
The wise rabbit agreed and led the Lion towards a deep well filled with water. Then he
showed the Lion his reflection in the water of the well. The Lion was furious and started
growling and naturally its image in the water, the other Lion, was also equally angry.
Then the Lion jumped into the water to attack the other Lion and kill it but lost its life in
the well. Thus the wise rabbit saved the forest and all animals from the proud Lion.
