The Lion and the Rabbit

Once in the deep jungle lived a very ferocious evil Lion. The lion would always boast his power by killing animals just to show off. The lion even killed more animals than he can eat, the other animals were sick of it. One day, the animals all discussed on how to trick the lion away from his evil self. “Oh lion” The animals started, “King, please stop killing animals unnecessarily, we will send you one animal each day for your meal”. The lion agreed to the plan. That very dawn, they sent up a wise old Rabbit who was first to be eaten. But the Rabbit would always stall by talking with friends or nibbling on tiny leaves. Until finally when the sun was setting, he arrived to the Lion. The sun was going down, and the Lion was starving. “What took you so long?” Roared the lion. “IM STARVING!” “My apologies,” The Rabbit started “But unfortunately I came across another lion that was big and scary, like you.” “WHAT?” Said the lion in great displeasure. “Bring him to me!” “As you wish my king” Said the Rabbit “But it would be easier if you came down and saw it yourself” The Lion agreed and went into the forest down to a well. With the Lion looking at the reflection, thinking it was another lion, gave out a ferocious roar. “ROAR-R-R-R!!!” The well echoed //roar-r-r-r-r-r-r.// “I am the king, not you!” The voice echoed, //I am the king, not you!// “How dare you call yourself the king?” It echoed once more, //how dare you call yourself the king?// With great fierce the Lion pounced into the well with a big splash! The Rabbit joyfully walked back to the jungle telling all the other animals about the great story of how the Lion was caught in a well. THE END
 * Lesson/Moral: Sometimes the smallest of all can be the greatest of all.**

**The Lion and the Rabbit** There once lived a lion. He was the great king of the jungle. Though every other animal was very afraid of him. To show how powerful he was he would go out and take innocent poor animals and use them for his needs. Like prisoners. He was very mean and only cared about himself. Then one day the animals had a meeting about the lion so they could make a plan to stop him. They decided that they would give him one animal more every day. They went to ask the lion if he would like to just do that instead of going and stealing animals. The lion finally agreed to this plan but said "Fine but make sure you deliver my servants early in the day. I do not like to wait. I need to have animals to do work for me." The animals the said "Yes your majesty" and ran back into the jungle. The next day the animals searched for someone smart and brave enough to go out to be the next servant for the ferocious lion. "I will go" said a rabbit. The rabbit was old though wise so the animals then agreed to let him go. When the rabbit reached the lion the day was already over halfway done. "Why are you so late?" the lion asked. "A scary and brutal lion was preventing me from getting to you. I then finally got here. I can just imagine him. He looked exactly like you. Just as horrifying" The rabbit responded. Another lion! Not here in my jungle!" The lion roared. "Take me to him" The lion demanded. "As you wish" The rabbit said. The rabbit led the lion to a well filled with water. "There he is" said the rabbit. The lion looked down to see his reflection. The lion roared. Then the reflection of the lion roared back from the echo in the well. "Who are you?" the lion asked. In response was "Who are you?". "I am the mighty king of the jungle" and then the lion said the same thing back. "How dare you ever call yourself the king of the jungle!" The lion roared. "How dare you ever call yourself the king of the jungle" The echo repeated. "I will show you who the king is here" the lion said jumping into the well. The clever rabbit came back to the animals to tell them the good news. They were safe! The animals went to free the animals and retured the to their homes. The lion then never bothered the animals again.
