The Lion and the Rabbit
Once upon a time, there lived a mighty lion named Sheru, who was the king of the jungle. One day, Sheru was feeling very hungry and decided to go out hunting. He roamed around the jungle for a while, but he couldn't find any prey. Finally, he came across a clever little rabbit named Khargosh.
The lion pounced on the rabbit, but Khargosh quickly thought of a plan to save himself. He said to Sheru, "Oh great lion, please don't eat me. I am the messenger of the gods, and I have been sent here to inform all the animals that you have been chosen as the king of the jungle. The gods have commanded that all the animals must come and pay homage to you."
The lion was pleased to hear this and decided to spare the rabbit's life. He asked Khargosh to take him to all the other animals, so that he could receive their homage. Khargosh led Sheru to a clearing in the jungle, where he had already dug several small holes in the ground.
Khargosh told Sheru to stand in one of the holes and wait for the other animals to arrive. As the animals started to arrive, Khargosh introduced Sheru as the new king of the jungle. The animals were all very scared of Sheru and didn't dare to go near him.
Suddenly, Khargosh jumped out of one of the holes and ran towards Sheru, pretending to be very scared. He said, "Oh great lion, we have a big problem. There is a group of elephants who are refusing to accept you as the king of the jungle. They say that you are not strong enough to rule over them."
Sheru was very angry to hear this and decided to show the elephants who was boss. Khargosh led Sheru to a deep pit that had been covered with twigs and leaves. Sheru jumped into the pit, thinking that the elephants were hiding inside. But instead of finding the elephants, he fell into the pit and was trapped.
Khargosh then called out to all the other animals and told them what had happened. They were all very grateful to the rabbit for saving them from the lion's tyranny. And from that day on, Khargosh became known as a hero among the animals of the jungle.
The moral of the story is that brains are more important than brawn. It's always better to be clever and use your intelligence to solve problems, rather than relying on brute force.
