Task 1
a) An oral retelling of story read

The Clever Rabbit and the Foolish Lion

by Story life
Terro Lion was a very proud lion. He was a real terror in the jungle. He often just roared and killed
animals, even when he was not very hungry.
The terrified animals of the jungle one day called for a meeting. “We must put an end to this menace,”
Forro fox cried. “But how,” wondered the other animals. “Terro is so big and strong, none of can even
touches him. I guess we will have to just live with this, more likely die with this!”
But Buns Rabbit was not the kind to give up. He thought of a plan.
The next day Merry Monkey went to the lion and said, “My majestic lord! You are so mighty; you are lord
of us all. But you know what? Buns Rabbit says he has seen someone even more powerful than you.”
Upon hearing this Terror Lion roared. He asked Merry to go and send Buns Rabbit to him.
The clever Buns came up to Terro.
“Hey Buns, you puny fellow," roared Terro. "What’s all this nonsense about a more powerful lion than me
in the jungle?"
Buns said, “My lord, you are indeed mighty. Forgive me, I am just telling what I saw. I saw a huge lion
yesterday.”
Terro roared aloud, “Where is he? I will have him for breakfast today! There is no one mightier than me.
Take me to him.”
The clever Buns took Terro to a lake. He then pointed to the water in the lake and said, “My lord, I saw the
huge lion cooling off in this lake.”
Terro peeped into the water. He saw his own face in the water. He roared loudly. He saw his image in the
water roaring back at him. He was so angry, that he forgot everything; even that he didn’t know how to
swim.
“How dare you roar back at mighty me? I will finish you.” He cried and jumped right into the lake. Terro
drowned.
Buns Rabbit happily took the news of Terror’s end to the other animals. There was joy in the
jungle………..
