STORY

THE LION AND THE RABBIT

A cruel lion lived in the forest. Every day, he killed and ate a lot of animals. The other animals were afraid the lion would kill them all.

The animals told the lion, “Let’s make a deal. If you promise to eat only one animal each day, then one of us will come to you every day. Then you don’t have to hunt and kill us.”

The plan sounded well thought-out to the lion, so he agreed, but he also said, “If you don’t come every day, I promise to kill all of you the next day!”

Each day after that, one animal went to the lion so that the lion could eat it. Then, all the other animals were safe.

Finally, it was the rabbit’s turn to go to the lion. The rabbit went very slowly that day, so the lion was angry when the rabbit finally arrived.

The lion angrily asked the rabbit, “Why are you late?”

“I was hiding from another lion in the forest. That lion said he was the king, so I was afraid.”

The lion told the rabbit, “I am the only king here! Take me to that other lion, and I will kill him.”

The rabbit replied, “I will be happy to show you where he lives.”

The rabbit led the lion to an old well in the middle of the forest. The well was very deep with water at the bottom. The rabbit told the lion, “Look in there. The lion lives at the bottom.”

When the lion looked in the well, he could see his own face in-the water. He thought that was the other lion. Without waiting another moment, the lion jumped into the well to attack the other lion. He never came out.

All of the other animal in the forest were very pleased with the rabbit’s clever trick.

شیر و خرگوش
شیر ظالمی در جنگل زندگی میکرد .او هر روز حیوانات زیادی را میکشت و میخورد. حیوانات دیگر نگران بودند که شیر همه آنها را خواهد کشت .
حیوانات به شیر گفتند، بیا معامله ای کنیم، اگر تو قول دهی که هر روز تنها یک حیوان بخوری، آن وقت یکی از ما هر روز نزد تو خواهد آمد. بنابراین نیازی نیست تا شکار کنی و ما را بکشی.
اگر هر روز نیایید، قول «، این نقشه در نظر شیر فکر خوبی رسید. بنابراین موافقت کرد، اما همچنین گفت
». میدهم که همه شما را روز بعد بکشم
بعد از آن هر روز ،یکی از حیوانات نزد شیر میرفت در نتیجه شیر میتوانست آن را بخورد. پس تمام حیوانات
دیگر در امان بودند.
سرانجام، نوبت خرگوش بود تا نزد شیر برود. خرگوش آن روز خیلی آهسته رفت، بنابراین وقتی عاقبت
خرگوش رسید، شیر عصبانی بود .
شیر با عصبانیت از خرگوش پرسید: چرا دیر کردی؟
من از شیر دیگری در جنگل مخفی شده بودم. اون شیر گفت که پادشاه است، بنابراین خیلی ترسیده بودم.
شیر به خرگوش گفت، من تنها پادشاه اینجا هستم! مرا نزد شیر دیگر ببر، و من او را خواهم کشت.
خرگوش جواب داد: خیلی خوشحال میشوم که به شما نشان دهم که او کجا زندگی میکند.
خرگوش شیر را به طرف یک چاه قدیمی در وسط جنگل هدایت کرد. چاه خیلی عمیق بود با آبی که در تهِ آن
بود. خرگوش به شیر گفت ،آنجا را نگاه کن. شیر آن پایین زندگی میکند.
وقتی شیر به داخل چاه نگاه کرد، توانست صورت خود را در آب ببیند. فکر کرد که او شیر دیگری است. بدون
تعلل در یک لحظه شیر به داخل چاه پرید تا به شیر دیگر حمله کند. او هیچ وقت بیرون نیامد. تمام حیوانات
دیگر داخل جنگل از حقه تیزهوشانه خرگوش خیلی خوشحال بودند.
