Once upon a time, in a magical jungle, there lived a mighty lion named Leo. Leo was the king of the jungle, and he was known for being strong and ferocious. However, he had a habit of hunting and disturbing all the other animals in the jungle.
The animals were tired of Leo’s constant hunting and decided to do something about it. They held a special meeting and bravely approached Leo.
“Sir Leo,” said the wise old elephant, “we don’t want you to hunt us anymore. We’ll take turns volunteering to be your meal, so the rest of us can live in peace.”
Leo, feeling proud and powerful, agreed to the animals’ proposal. “Very well,” he roared, “if you come voluntarily, I will sleep and not disturb the jungle.”
The animals were relieved, and a schedule was created to determine whose turn it was to be Leo’s meal. One day, it was the turn of a clever rabbit named Robbie.
Robbie had a plan. He decided to be a little late for his appointment with Leo. When he finally arrived, Leo was furious. “Why have you come late? I am very hungry, and you did not come on time,” roared Leo.
The clever rabbit, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, replied, “Sir, there was a danger on the way.”
Leo was intrigued. “What danger?” he asked.
“There is another lion,” Robbie said, laying on a bench and sprinkling pepper and salt on himself, “and he wanted to eat me. So, I protested, ‘No, sir, you cannot kill me! I am to be eaten by another lion.'”
Leo, growing angrier, demanded to know where this other lion was.
“Come, I will show you,” said Robbie, leading Leo towards an old well in the jungle.
“The other lion is living within this well,” explained Robbie.
Leo peered into the well and, to his surprise, saw another lion roaring back at him. The other lion looked just like him! What Leo didn’t realize was that it was his own reflection.
Enraged, Leo jumped into the well to confront the other lion. The animals watched in astonishment as Leo, in his foolishness, drowned in the water.
From that day forward, the jungle was peaceful, and the animals lived happily without the constant threat of Leo’s hunting. And they all learned a valuable lesson: one who has intelligence has true power. And so, the clever rabbit, Robbie, became a hero in the jungle, reminding everyone that brains can triumph over brawn.
