Sasakena nipatitah. Why? Buddhir yasya balam tasya: \u201cOne who has got intelligence, he has got power.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">A Lion is very mighty, ferocious animal, and a sasaka, an ordinary rabbit, he killed the lion.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">How?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">The lion was disturbing all the animals, so all the animals held a meeting and called the lion:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">\u201cSir, you do not try to kill us all, hunting after everyone. We shall go voluntarily every day, one of us. So you don\u2019t create disturbance. Let us become peaceful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">So lion agreed,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">\u201cAll right, if you voluntarily come, I will sleep, and if you enter in my mouth\u201d So this was the agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">Then it was the turn for one rabbit. So he planned something. He went to the lion a little late. So lion was very angry that,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">\u201cWhy you have come late? I am very hungry, and you did not come!\u201d (laughter)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">So the rabbit said, \u201cSir, there was a danger on the way.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">\u201cWhat was that?\u201d \u201cThere is another lion, and he wanted to kill me and eat, so I protested,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">\u201cNo sir, you cannot kill me. (laughter) I am destined to be killed by such and such lion, so you cannot do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">So the lion was very much pleased:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">\u201cWhere is that lion!?\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">\u201cPlease come. I will show you.\u201d So the rabbit took the lion near one well. The rabbit said,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">\u201cHe is living within this.\u201d (laughter)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">The lion immediately<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">\u201cCome on! Make a ROOAARR!\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">So there was vibration, (echo) still higher sound, and he looked down and saw his photo, yes, shadow (reflection). So he thought it,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">\u201cYes, there is lion!\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">He immediately jumped over him.
