The Clever Rabbit and the Tiger.

Once upon a time, there was a clever rabbit who lived in a forest. One day, the rabbit saw a tiger approaching him. The tiger looked very hungry and the rabbit knew that he was in trouble. The rabbit quickly thought of a plan to save himself.
The rabbit said to the tiger, “Oh, dear tiger! You look very weak and ill. What happened to you?”
The tiger replied, “I have not eaten for days and I am very hungry. I am looking for something to eat.”
The rabbit said, “Oh, I see. But you should not eat me. I am very small and skinny. You will not get much to eat from me. If you want a big meal, I can show you where the tastiest fruits are. They are very sweet and juicy. You will love them.”
The tiger was very pleased with the idea of eating sweet and juicy fruits. He agreed to follow the rabbit to the place where the fruits were.
As they walked, the rabbit led the tiger to a deep pit. The pit was covered with leaves and branches. The rabbit said, “The fruits are at the bottom of this pit. You will have to jump in and get them.”
The tiger was so excited about the fruits that he did not even think twice before jumping into the pit. But as soon as he jumped in, he realized that he had been tricked. The pit was too deep and he could not climb out.
The clever rabbit laughed and said, “You should have thought twice before trying to eat me. Now you will have to stay in the pit and starve to death.”
The tiger realized that he had been outsmarted by the clever rabbit. He begged the rabbit to help him out of the pit. The rabbit took pity on the tiger and decided to help him out.
The rabbit said, “I will help you out of the pit, but you must promise never to try to eat me again.”
The tiger promised and the rabbit helped him out of the pit. From that day on, the tiger and the rabbit became good friends. The tiger learned to respect the rabbit’s intelligence and never tried to harm him again.
The clever rabbit had once again proven that wit and intelligence are more powerful than brute strength.
