Long time ago a rabbit and a lion were neighbors. The lion was very proud, and was fond of boasting about his strength. And though they were such close neighbors, lion looked down upon the rabbit, and used to bully and frighten her. Finally, the rabbit could stand it no longer and wanted to get her own back.

One day, she went to the lion and said, “Good day”, respected 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
