he lion and the Hare.
A traditional African story, from ethiopia.
One day in the forest,Lion caught little Hare. "I am too small and skinny for you to eat.Let me go and I"ll help you catch a bigger animal," said Hare. Lion agreed,and together they went hunting.Lion caught a large bull,but Hare caught only a scrawny old donkey.
"Oh dear,Lion. That's bad luck.You bull is so thin and unhealthy."
"they bull looks all right to me,"Lion said.
"Well, everyone knows that if it's a good bull,you'll see a cloud of dust rise from it when you hit it,"said Hare.
Lion had never heard of that,but as he didn't want to appear dumb.he agreed and hit the bull.Of course, there was no dust.
“See?” said Hare,”No good.” Then he hit the donkey, and a hugs cloud of dust rose into the air.So Lion demanded that he have the donkey and that Hare have the bull.
Later,Hare found some feather and decided to pretend they were knives. “Look,Lion. I have eight light knives and you have only one. If you lose your knife, you’ll be defenseless.” So Lion insisted that they swap, and he took the eight feather, thinking they were knives.
Later, when they came to Lion’s cave, Have said, “Oh dear, Lion. Your house has only one door. If a hunter finds you. You can’t escape. Mine has many doors, so I can escape easily. “ so Lion insisted that they swap houses.
