About this story
Long ago in a beautiful forest, a fierce young lion hunted far more animals than he needed, and the forest creatures lived in fear. At a great meeting they agree to a hard bargain: one animal will go to the lion's den each day, so the rest can live in peace. Then it is the rabbit's turn — small, scared, and very clever. She arrives late on purpose, spins a tale of a rival 'lion' who claims to be the true king, and leads the furious beast to a still, mirror-clear pond in the middle of the woods. A classic trickster tale about wits outmatching strength, told in warm read-aloud language.
