Numskull and the Rabbit
A lion king named Numskull lived in a forest. He was filled with foolish pride. Numskull constantly killed the other animals. One day, all the other animals - deer, boars, buffaloes, wild oxen, rabbits, and others — got together, and begged the lion king to stop the killing. They suggested a deal. lf Numskull will stop the slaughter, they will send one animal to be eaten each day. After listening to them, Numskull agreed to the deal. However, he threatened to eat them all if one animal did not come each day to be eaten.
One day, it being a rabbit-day, the rabbit's turn came. And when the thronging animals bad given him directions, he reflected: “How is it possible to kill this lion-curse him! l can kill even a lion." So he went very slowly, planning to arrive tardily, and meditating with troubled spirit on a means at killing the lion.
Finally, the rabbit reached the place where Nuntskull was waiting.
Numskull was thinking about how hungry he was. He was also angry that the rabbit was late and decided he would kill all the animals the next morning. “First, you are too small for a meal", Numskull said. “Second, you are tardy. Because of this wickedness l am going to kill you and tomorrow morning, l shall eliminate all other species of animals". The rabbit made up a story about how he met another great lion. The rabbit claimed that the other lion lived in a mighty fortress and the lion was Numskull's enemy. He implied that Numskull should fight the other lion, even though this lion was hiding in a strong fortress.
When he heard this, Numskull said: “My fellow, show me that thief. Even if he is hiding in a fortress, I will kill him". He took Numskull to a deep well, claiming that the other lion had crawled into it in fear. And the lion being a dreadful fool saw his own reflection in the water and gave voice to a great roar.
Then from the well came a roar twice loud, because of the echo. This lion heard, decided that his rival was very powerful, hurled himself down, and met his death. Thereupon the rabbit cheerfully carried the glad news to the animals, received their compliments, and lived there contentedly in the forest.
