It was an incredibly hot day, and a lion was feeling very hungry.<>
He came out of his den and searched here and there.<>
He could find only a small hare. He caught the hare with some hesitation.<>
“This hare can’t fill my stomach” thought the lion.<>
As the lion was about to kill the hare, a deer ran that way.<>
The lion became greedy. He thought;<>
“Instead of eating this small hare, let me eat the big deer.”<>
He let the hare go and went behind the deer.<>
But the deer had vanished into the forest.<>
The lion now felt sorry for letting the hare off.<>
Moral of the story:<>
A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.<>
