شیر و خرگوش باهوشThe Lion and the Clever Rabbit
Page 1. The Lion and the Clever Rabbit In a green forest lived a powerful lion. Every day he hunted the animals, and they all feared him.
Page 2. The animals gathered and made an agreement with the lion: each day, one of them would go to become his meal. The lion agreed and promised to stop hunting in the forest.
Page 3. One day, the lot fell to a small rabbit. The rabbit did not hurry; he sat calmly and made a clever plan. The hungry lion waited impatiently.
Page 4. The rabbit arrived late. The lion roared, “Why are you late?” The rabbit said, “Two of us were coming, but another lion stopped us and took my companion. He says he is king of this forest!”
Page 5. The furious lion said, “Take me to that lion!” The rabbit led him to a deep well. The lion looked into the water and mistook his own reflection for his rival. He roared and jumped in.
Page 6. What can we learn from this story? The rabbit returned, and all the animals celebrated their freedom. Wisdom and patience can be stronger than force and anger.
