720 - The fable of the rabbit.

When the rabbit and the turtle came back home, tired and hungry due to the race they had just had, they saw, afar, a little farm that cultivated fruits and vegetables.

When they passed by the farm, the rabbit realized that the carrots were ready to be eaten, and he said to the turtle:

"Hey, turtle, what do you say we jump off the fence of the farm and grab a couple of carrots to restore the energy we lost in the race?"

"Are you crazy, rabbit?" said the turtle, exalted "that's stealing!"

"Yeah, yeah, but it would only be a couple of carrots, the farm's owner will never realized it, what do you say? we do it?"

"NO!" answered the turtle "I won´t do it, you go, rabbit, if you want; but don't drag me into your misdeeds."

"OK" said the rabbit "but I won't bring any carrots for you, and then don't be asking me for a bite of mine."

Then, the turtle saw how the rabbit approached the fence and jumped it off using his two strong back legs; he, then, landed on the other side of the fence, and came near the carrots stealthily; but, as soon as he grabbed the leafs of a carrot, to pull it off the earth, PUM! the rabbit's head blew in a thousands pieces.

"I CAUGHT YOU WITH THE PAWS ON MY CARROTS, YOU FILTHY THIEF!" screamed the human that had came out of the farm and now was running to the rabbit's body that lied dead on the ground.

After seen all this, the turtle came back to his home as fast as he could, and he, now, tells the story of the thief-rabbit to everyone in the woods, so all the animals could learn that stealing is a bad thing.

The end.
