Dulo the Rabbit

Dulo was a very wild spirited rabbit. This wild spirit of his wild get him into
trouble at a mind-blowing rate.
had a car, which he used for stealing bananas and
chickens. One day, he was stealing with Hyena. Upon returning home,
the two of them cooked the stolen bananas and chickens. When the
meal was ready, Dulo said, “Oh….I am very sick. Hyena, can you get
me some medicine?” Hyena being a devoted friend left to fetch the medicine, Dulo
finished the meal all by himself. When Hyena came home, he saw that
all of the delicious food was gone. After that day, Dulo tried this
scheme several more times.
After some time, Dulo became fearless and wanted to try something
different. He removed his skin before he ate the bananas and chickens
they had stolen. When Hyena came home from the doctor this time,
she saw a red animal, who was really Dulo, and became so frightened
that froze in place before just staggering away.
Several days passed before Hyena started to wonder why the red
animal appeared only when she and Dulo cooked their meals. She was
very curious, and when Dulo sent her for medicine the next time,
Hyena hid behind a mango tree to observe what would happen next. She
saw that, after Dulo thought she was gone, he peeled off his skin, left it
to soak in water, and then ate all of the bananas and chickens in a jubilant manner.
After his meal, he put on his skin again, and as he was well nourished, he went
home to rest in the shade of a large baobab tree. Hyena thought to herself, ‘Dulo
has the audacity to treat me like this. I will teach him a lesson.’
The very next day, as Dulo sat eating his meal, Hyena went to the
water, took out the skin Dulo had placed there, and hid it in the sand.
When Dulo found his skin, his jaw dropped in disbelief. His skin in all its stunning
beauty was totally dried up. Hyena came to Dulo and in triumph told him to always
share the food the made together.
