Long time ago a rabbit
and a lion were neighbors. The lion was very proud, and was fond of boasting
about his strength. And though they were such close neighbors, lion looked down
upon the rabbit, and used to bully and frighten her. Finally, the rabbit could
stand it no longer and wanted to get her own back.
One day, she went to
the lion and said, “Good day”, respected elder brother. Imagine it, I met an
animal over there who looked exactly like you, and he said to me, “Is there
anyone in the world who dares stand up to me? If there is, let him come and
have a duel with me. If there is no, all of you have to submit to my rule and
be my servants!” “oh, he can’t even light on anyone!”, added the rabbit.
“oho,” the lion said,
“didn’t you mention me to him?”
“yes, indeed,” the
rabbit replied, “but it would have been better if I hadn’t. when I described
how strong you were, he just sneers and
said dreadfully rude things. He even went so far as to say that wouldn’t take
you for his attendant!”
The lion flew into a
rage and roared, “where is her? Where is her?”
So the rabbit took
behind a hill and not going too near herself. Pointed to a deep well from a
distance and said, “he is down there in the well”.
The lion hastened to
the well and glared angrily into it. Yes, there was his rival who even glared
back at him angrily. The lion roared and his enemy roared back. The lion became
so furious that his hair stood on end. So did his enemy’s in the well. The lion
showed his teeth and lashed out with his paws to scare his rival-and his enemy
in the well retaliated! In a fit of anger the lion sprang into the air with all
his might and then himself at the enemy in the well.
The result was that the
proud lion was instantly.

SALT
Once
upon a time there was a king who had three daughters. Because they were good
and beautiful he loved them all sincerely. He did not know which one he should
appoint as queen.
As
his birthday approach he summoned his daughters and said to them, “my dear
children, I love all three of you sincerely, and for a long time have not known
which one of you I should name to be the heir to my throne. But I have now
decided that the one of you shall become queen who brings to me a birthday
present that is most necessary in human life. Go and make your plans
accordingly and with utmost diligence.
The
old King’s birthday arrived, and the two oldest daughters brought him presents
that were very necessary, but at the same time extremely expensive. However,
the youngest daughter brought him nothing more than a little pile of salt in a
decorated container. When the King saw her present, he became very angry, and
he drove his daughter out of the castle, forbidding her ever again to let
herself be seen by him.
With
deep sorrow the rejected daughter went out into the unknown world, comforted
only by her faith in her own good sense. After walking a good while she came to
an inn. There she found a female innkeeper who thoroughly understood cooking.
She entered an apprenticeship with her and soon exceeded even the innkeeper in
the art of cooking.
News
spread far and wide of the excellent cook in this inn, and everyone who came
this way and who still had a few Kreutzer left in his pocket stooped to be
served a roast or something even more elegant. The king heard of the cook’s
reputation and he hired her as court cook. Now it came to pass that the oldest
princess was getting married and the famous cook was assigned the preparation
of the wedding feast, with no expenses to be spared.
Thus
on the wedding day one elegant dish after the other was served until the table
almost cracked. Everything was excellently prepared, and everyone praised the
cook. Finally the king’s favorite dish arrived. Quickly taking a spoon he
tasted it. “this has not been salted!” he cried out angrily. “have the cook
brought before me!” they quickly ran for the cook, who entered the hall
undaunted. “why did you forget to salt my favorite dish, you careless girl?”
snapped the king at her. The cook answered, “you drove away your youngest
daughter because she thought that salt was so necessary. Perhaps you can now
see that your child was not so wrong”.
When
the king heard these words he recognized his daughter, begged her for
forgiveness, asked her to be seated at his side, and accepted her once again as
his dear child. Then the wedding became doubly joyful. The king lived happily
with his children for many years thereafter.
