The Rabbit And His Ears
This is one of the best fables with morals and animals. Once upon a time in a jungle, there lived a big and strong lion. He used to scare little animals and hunt them for his lunch and dinner. All the tiny, little animals were frightened of him. But they could not do anything.
One day, the lion was eating a goat for his dinner. Suddenly, the lion got badly hurt by one of the horns of the goat. “Ouch!” roared the lion. “This goat has horns. I don’t like horns.” He became very angry at the goat’s horns and so he decided to show the door to the animals with horns. “No more horns!” roared the lion. “All animals with horns must leave my jungle,” he said.
