THE LIOM AND RABBIT - STORY RETOLD

LONG LONG AGO IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM ALL THE ANIMALS LIVED HAPPILY MONKEY JUMPING FROM TREE TO TREE, DEER RUNNING, BIRDS CHIRPING .THE MAJESTIC LION WAS THE KING OF THE JUNGLE ".HE WAS PROUD AND WOULD ROAR TO KEEP ANIMALS UNDER CONTROL. ALL THE ANIMALS WERE SCARED OF THE LION ONE DAY THE LION KILLED MANY ANIMALS AS PART OF HIS FUN SPREE AND THEN WENT TO HIS DEN. THE LION DID NOT COME OUT OF THE DEN FOR NEXT 2 DAYS. THE ANIMALS WERE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR FATE AS ONCE THE LION CAME OUT OF THE DEN HE WOULD KILL MANY MORE ANIMALS . AND SO THEY CALLED A MEETING. THE DEER ASKED "WHAT SHALL WE DO "… THE FOX SAID " IF THIS GOES ON THERE WILL NOT BE ANY MORE ANIMALS IN THE JUNGLE… " THE OLD WISE ELEPHANT SAID LOUDLY "I HAVE AN IDEA". "LET US TELL THE LION THAT WE SHALL SEND HIM HIS FOOD EVERY DAY. EACH DAY ONE OF US WILL GO TO HIS DEN SO THAT WE SAVE THE JUNGLE. TO BE FAIR TO EVERYONE WE WILL DRAW LOTS FOR THE DAY TO DECIDE WHO HAS TO GO TO THE LION'S DEN. " THE WOLF CONVEYED THE PLAN TO THE LION. THE LION JOYFULLY AGREED. NOW I CAN GET FOOD WITHOUT HUNTING. THEY HAD A DRAW OF LOTS.. ALL ANIMALS WAITED WITH BAITED BREADTH. IT WAS THE ZEBRA THEN BUFFELLO WHO HAD TO GO. THE SAME CONTINUED AND THE NEXT DAY THE DEER WENT TO THE DEN… THEN ZEBRA… THE RABBIT'S TURN CAME AND HE SAID TO HIMSELF "I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE AND I DO NOT WANT TO DIE" WALKED THROUGH THE JUNGLE. HE CAME VERY LATE TO THE LION'S DEN. THE LION GOT ANGRY AND SAID TO THE RABBIT " YOUR DELAY OTHER ANIMALS HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR DELAY". THE RABBIT SAID "O KING I NEVER WANTED TO BE LATE BUT I WAS INTERCEPTED BY ANOTHER LION WHO WANTED TO KILL ME. I TOLD HIM MY MASTER WILL BE WAITING FOR ME SO I WILL MEET HIM AND COME BACK TO YOU." HE CHALLENGED YOU TO DARE A COMBAT WITH HIM THE LION SAID I AM THE KING OF THIS JUNGLE NO OTHER LION CAN ENTER MY TERRITORY, TAKE ME TO THE OTHER LION. THE RABBIT ASKED THE LION TO COME ALONG AND TOOK THE LION TO THE WELL. THE LION SAW HIS REFLECTION. THE LION ROARED AND THE ECHO ROARED LOUDER. THE LION JUMPED. THE RABBIT WAS HAPPY HE CLOSED HIS EYES AND SAID TO HIMSELF" NOW ALL ANIMALS ARE SAFE THERE WILL NOT BE ANY KILLING IN THE JUNGLE". SUDDENLY HE SAW THE LION BEHIND HIM. HE CAUGHT BY RABBIT BY THE EAR AND TOLD "YOU CUNNING RABBIT I AM SMARTER THAN YOU. I COULD MAKE OUT IT WAS MY IMAGE NOW COME WITH ME ". HE SHOWED A FARM BEHIND THE DEN. ALL THE ANIMALS WHO CAME TO ME EVERYDAY WERE IN THE FARM… BUFFELLOW, DEER , ZEBRA GRACING AND ARE HAPPY.. HE ROARED AND ALL THE ANIMALS CAME TO THE DEN THE KING SAID" I SINNED BY KILLING ANIMALS FOR FUN AND FOR TWO DAYS I DID MEDITATION. I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION NOT TO KILL ANY ANIMALS BUT CHANGE TO A VEGETARIAN. BEFORE I COULD ANNOUNCE MY DECISION, ALL ANIMALS JUMPED INTO CONCLUSION IN THE MEETING AND SENT EVERYDAY ONE ANIMAL TO MY DEN. I WANTED TO TEACH YOU ALL A LESSON AND I THANK BUFFALO, DEER AND ZEBRA WHO UNDERSTOOD MY PLAN. LET US NOW FEAST – ONLY VEGETARIAN DO NOT JUMP INTO CONCLUSION AND ACT HASTILY WITHOUT KNOWING THE FULL FACTS"
