Once upon a time, a merchant sold a large tree to a woodcutter. The next day, when the
woodcutter went to cut the tree, the merchant stopped him and said, “I have sold you the
tree, not the fruits on it, so you cannot take any of the fruits.”

The woodcutter became very upset and went to the village chief’s court. He explained the
situation to the chief and asked for justice. The chief called upon the wise elder of the

Once upon a time, a cunning fox captured two little rabbits, Benny and Lila, and locked
Benny in a small den while forcing Lila to cook meals for him. The fox planned to eat
them both. Each night, the rabbits cried and begged the fox to let them go.

Meanwhile, at home, their mother rabbit was beginning to regret ever letting them wander
far into the forest. “I must find them,” she said and set off into the woods.

Many hours later, when her paws were sore from walking and her throat was dry from
thirst, she came to the den belonging to the fox. The mother rabbit peeped through the
bushes. Her heart broke when she saw her two little rabbits.

She picked up a large branch lying nearby and crept inside. The fox was busy stirring a
pot of soup when the mother rabbit gave him an enormous shove. The fox tumbled into
the pot, and the mother rabbit quickly shut it with a heavy lid.

“Children, I have come to rescue you,” she said, hugging them tightly. “I have done a
terrible thing by letting you go so far. I hope in time you will forgive me. Let me take you
home and be a family again.”
