Long ago, a cruel lion was the king of the jungle. He used to kill many animals for his food. All the animals of the jungle used to be afraid. One day all the animals went to him with a suggestion. The smartest fox among them said lovingly- Maharaj! You are our king. We are your servants. We have a suggestion. You are getting old and weak, so why don't you stay at home.
We promise that one animal will reach every day to become your food. Now you will not have to hunt anymore. We will also live peacefully.
The lion liked the suggestion. He roared- If you cannot send animals, then I will kill as many animals as I want. The animals said- Maharaj! We will keep our promise. From that day onwards, every day one animal would go to the lion's cave and the lion would eat it.
One day it was the turn of the rabbits, a small rabbit was asked to go. He was very clever. He did not like it at all that the lion keeps killing and eating everyone. While going towards the cave, he found a way to escape. He reached there very late by walking slowly.
The lion was angry. His anger flared up when he saw a small rabbit for food. He roared- 'Who sent you? You are too small for me to eat and have come late. I am very hungry.
The little rabbit saluted- 'Maharaj! Please listen to me. Five more rabbits were sent with me but on the way a lion met me and he ate them all. He said that he is the king of the jungle. I somehow managed to escape. 'Another lion!!! Where is the other one, roared the lion.
