elder brother. Imagine it, I met an animal over there who looked exactly like
you, and he said to me, “Is there anyone in the world who dares stand up to me?
If there is, let him come and have a duel with me. If there is no, all of you
have to submit to my rule and be my servants!” “oh, he can’t even light on
anyone!”, added the rabbit.
“oho,” the lion said, “didn’t you mention me to him?”
“yes, indeed,” the rabbit replied, “but it would have been better
if I hadn’t. when I described how strong you were, he just sneers and
said dreadfully rude things. He even went so far as to say that wouldn’t take
you for his attendant!”
The lion flew into a rage and roared, “where is her? Where is
her?”
So the rabbit took behind a hill and not going too near herself.
Pointed to a deep well from a distance and said, “he is down there in the
well”.
The lion hastened to the well and glared angrily into it. Yes,
there was his rival who even glared back at him angrily. The lion roared and
his enemy roared back. The lion became so furious that his hair stood on end.
So did his enemy’s in the well. The lion showed his teeth and lashed out with
