The rabbit and the well

Long ago,there was a small village in Tanzania. Many different animals lived there. There were elephants and lions. There were antelopes and rabbits. The giraffe was the king of all the animals.

One summer it was very hot. There was very little rain. Soon, the animals did not have enough water to drink.

The giraffe called a meeting of all the animals. “ What can we do? ” he asked them. They decided to dig a well. The rabbit, however, did not want to do any work.

The animals dug a well and the rabbit sat nearby, laughing. Soon they had cool, clean water to drink. The giraffe said, “ The rabbit did not help with this well. He cannot drink the water. Every day, one animal will guard the well ”

The first day the elephant guarded the well. The rabbit walked up to him and gave him some honey. The elephant asked for more. The rabbit said, “ OK, but first I have to tie your hands and legs. You will enjoy the honey more this way. ” The rabbit tied up the elephant and jumped into the well. He drank water, and swam and laughed. Then he ran away

The giraffe was very angry. The next day, he asked the antelope to guard the well. The rabbit came by and tricked him, too. He drank water and swam. He laughed at the antelope and then ran away.

Finally, it was the turtle's turn to guard the well. The turtle climbed into the water and waited for the rabbit. The rabbit came and did not see any guards. He jumped in the water and the turtle grabbed him. He took him to the king. The rabbit was in trouble.

After that, all the animals enjoyed their water in peace.
