In a forest there was a colony of rabbits. One it was so beautiful. It had a


set of neatly arranged white teeth. Other animals like spiders, eagles, frogs and
fish were always praising the beauty of this rabbit's teeth.

The compliments and attention from other animals turned the rabbit
arrogant. It started acting as if it was the prettiest in the world. Over time, other
animals including elephants, ants and snakes began to keep away from it. The
rabbit always walk alone since no other animals likes to talk to it.

One day, the rabbit walked along the river and saw a crocodile sunbathing
on the bank. A few birds were in the crocodile’s open mouth pecking its teeth.
The rabbit was afraid to approach the crocodile.

“Hi rabbit, what a beautiful set of teeth you have! If my teeth were as
beautiful as yours, I can certainly be the king of the sea". The crocodile said to
the rabbit. The rabbit was very happy because the crocodile praised it in a very
long. The tortoise sat there watching them.

"How do you care for your teeth?” asked the crocodile again. The rabbit
was so proud of the compliment. Smiling, the rabbit said, "You must eat a lot of
vegetables and less meat."

Then, the crocodile opened its mouth widely. "Can you check my teeth?
My teeth is damaged, "said the crocodile. Without thinking much, the proud
rabbit approached the crocodile and checked its teeth one at a time. Quickly, the
crocodile shut his mouth and ate up the rabbit. That was the end of the life a silly
rabbit who had a pretty set teeth.
