The Foolish Animals

The Foolish Animals

Once, a rabbit was going to attend the birthday party of his cousin who lived in the burrow of the near by banyan tree. While going, he felt exhausted and thought, ‘Much time has remained in the party.’ So, he decided to take a nap under a tree. He slept under a tree; suddenly he heard a loud sound of “Thud! Bump!” He jumped in fright and ran for his life. On the way, another rabbit asked him why he was running. “Run! The earth is breaking!” panted the rabbit. On hearing this, the second rabbit started to run behind the first rabbit. Next, the deer, the fox and the elephant followed.

The lion saw them running and asked, “Why are you running?” The rabbit told him that he had heard the sound of the earth breaking up. The lion said, “Take me to the place where you heard that sound.” “There,” the rabbit said. The lion examined the place for a while and roared, “You foolish rabbit! It was the sound of a coconut falling on the ground that you heard!” The other animals felt ashamed of their foolishness and crept away in shame.
