He lived in a burrow beneath the ground and            only come out for food when he was sure that the tiger was                asleep and the jungle was safe. But the rabbit was also kind and          generous and he felt sorry for the animals of the jungle that were        forced to live in fear of the tiger.

    One evening, all of the animals were gathered together at the              meeting place.

    What can we do about the tiger ? asked the monkeys .

    They decided that each animal would go to the lion, per day, as          his prey. The lion agreed.

    When it was the rabbit's turn, they decided to send the wise old        one. He travelled slowly and reached the lion's den before sunset.

    The lion furiously asked him, "Why are you so late?" The rabbit        answered, "A group of rabbits were coming to you, but on their        way, they were attacked by another ferocious lion. I managed to        escape and came." The rabbit also mentioned that the other lion        was challenging you. 

    



    The lion was extremely angry and asked the rabbit to take him to        meet the new lion. The wise rabbit took the lion to a deep well,           and showed him his own reflection. As the lion growled, his              reflection did the same. The enraged lion jumped into the well           and died .

The silly crow opened her          mouth and started singing, "Caw, caw, caw". 

        



    The cheese fell down from the crow's beak. The fox took the              cheese and walked away happily .

    A monkey saw the two cats fighting. He took the cake and made        two parts of it. He said to the cats, "These two parts are not equal.      This one is bigger than the other." 

    He took a bite from one piece and them from the other, as if to            make them equal. He went on biting from both the pieces till only      two tiny bits of the cake were left.
