The title of this story is 'a rabbit and a tiger'. Once upon a time, there was a village. Villagers raised lots of animals. And there was a fierce and cruel tiger. He frequently ate the animals which villagers were raising. The villagers were angry. So, they said, "Let's set a trap! If we don't kill that tiger, all of our animals will die soon." They built a cage to put the tiger. The tiger was trapped there. The villagers said, "Now, let's go and check if we caught the tiger or not." But a rabbit saw that cage first. She saw a tiger in the cage. The tiger lured the rabbit to set him free. The rabbit asked him, "Why are you staying inside the cage?" He said, "I am here not because I want to. Set me free. We will make friends. I won't do any harmful actions to you. I promise." He said politely. But the rabbit knew that the tiger was fierce and cruel. So, she said, "You are a beast! If I set you free, you will kill me right away. I know it." Then, the tiger said, "No! I will not eat you. I promise. Just save me. We will live peacefully." He kept saying like that. The rabbit asked him again, "Are you sure you will not eat me?" He said, "Of course! Why should I? I promise I will not eat you." So, she opened the door of the cage. As we already knew, the tiger was a cruel beast. As soon as it came out of the cage, it attacked the rabbit. The rabbit was fooled. She said, "Don't eat me yet! Let's go to a judge to ask if you have the right to eat me or not. There's a banyan tree over there. Let's go!" When they arrived there, the banyan tree asked them, "Tell me what happened!" The rabbit said, "When the tiger was trapped in a cage, I saved him. But now, he said he would eat me. At that time, he said he would not eat me. He would be friend with me." But the banyan was bad too. It said, "Humans are bad and unfaithful. They torment and beat the animals. It's okay for the tiger to eat you." The rabbit was shocked. She said, "Let's find another judge!" They saw a buffalo and told everything. And the rabbit asked the buffalo, "Is it okay for the tiger if he eats me? Does he have the right to eat me?" The buffalo was stupid and said, "Humans are not good. They let us work.
They beat us all the time. If we didn't finish our work, they kill us. They don't value us." After hearing what the buffalo said, the tiger was so happy. He said, "See! I have the right to eat you." The rabbit didn't give up and finally went to humans to ask for justice. When they met, humans asked them, "What was the start? What happened between you two?" Actually, the rabbit didn't have any judges. When they asked the banyan tree, it said the tiger was right. When they asked the buffalo, it said that humans were not good and the tiger could eat her. When they met humans, they asked the tiger and the rabbit, "You two said the right to eat or something like that. What had happened? Tell us from the start." The rabbit said, "It started when the tiger was in the cage." Humans said, "Then let's go there. This time when we investigate there, everything will have justice and right for you." When they all arrived there, humans asked the tiger, "Tiger, where were you at first?" The tiger answered, "I was inside the cage." They said, "Then, go in. Show us exactly where you were." And they asked the rabbit, "Where were you, the rabbit?" The rabbit said, "I was outside the cage." They said, "Okay, you stay outside. What was between you two?" The rabbit said, "There was a door between us." People said, "Then, close the door." Then, they closed the door. The tiger was trapped there again. The tiger was just a wild beast which was dangerous not only for humans but also for small animals. In the end, he was killed by the villagers. This is the end of the story.
