The Greedy Lion and the Brave Rabbit

The story begins

In a forest full of trees and fruit,

with plenty of water and grass,

lived animals that grazed and played.

Until one day a lion came to the forest and declared himself its king.

Every day the lion caught an animal, and killed others, just for fun.

He killed without mercy, whoever it was,

and the animals were very afraid.

Their life became a misery.

When the lion would not stop killing, and would not leave,

the animals met to find a way out.

After a long meeting, the animals asked the rhino, the fox and the monkey to find an answer.

The three agreed on an idea,

The animals went to the lion to make a deal,

hoping he would leave them free to enjoy the forest.

The lion agreed, as long as the animal came at lunchtime, never late.
