“The Lion and
the Hare”
Once
upon a time, a lion had been hunting for days without catching anything to eat.
“It looks like I will go hungry
again!” he thought.
Then he saw a hare fast asleep beneath
a shady tree. He moved quietly towards it, thinking , “At last! Here is a
delicious meal sitting and waiting for me!”
He was about to catch the hare when a
fine young deer trotted by. The lion thought, “Now there is an even better
dinner!” He turned and chased the deer. The noise woke the hare and he quickly
hopped away.
After a long chase, the lion failed to
catch the deer. Tired out he came back looking for the hare, but found that it
had run away.
“What a fool I am!” the lion said as
his empty stomach growled.
“It serves me right for losing the
food that was almost mine, just for the chance of getting more!”
