A Lion and A Rabbit

    A Lion and A Rabbit
   A rabbit once lived in a forest with a lion. The lion was very proud. He looked down upon the rabbit. He often insulted her and beat her a lot. The rabbit could stand it no longer. She made up her mind to get rid of the lion by a trick.
   One day the rabbit came to the lion and said, "Good morning, Sir! Just now I saw an animal over there who looked just like you. He said that he was the king of all the animals in this forest. He told all of us to obey him and be his servants."
   "Didn't you tell him about me?" roared the lion.
   "Yes, I did," said the rabbit. "I told him how strong you were, but he said that no animal was so strong as he was."

   The lion was very angry and roared, "Where is he? Where is he?"
   The rabbit took the lion to a deep well and said, "He is down over there in the well."
   The lion hastened to the well and looked angrily at the water.
   "Yes, there he is," He roared. He flew down at his enemy into the well and was drowned. Poor lion !
(What he said his enemy, was actually his reflection in the water.)
