The Clever Rabbit and the Greedy Lion

Ek dafa ka zikar hai ke jungle mein ek bohot hi khatarnak aur lalchi sher rehta tha. Sher har din jungle ke janwaron ko khata tha aur unhein darata dhamkata tha. Jungle ke sab janwar uske zulm se tang aa gaye.

Ek din, sab janwaron ne mil kar faisla kiya ke woh sher ke liye rozana ek janwar bhej diya karenge taake woh baqi sab ko tang na kare. Sher is baat par razi ho gaya.

Ek din ek chhota sa chalaak khargosh ki baari aayi. Khargosh ne socha, “Agar hum ise hamesha janwar dete rahe, to yeh kabhi nahi rukega. Mujhe is sher se chutkara pana hoga.”

Khargosh ki Chalaki

Khargosh dheere dheere chal kar sher ke paas gaya aur jaan bujh kar der se pohancha. Sher gusse se dahara aur bola, “Tum itni der se kyu aaye ho? Main tumhein abhi kha jaunga!”

Khargosh ne shanti se jawab diya, “Maharaj, meri der hone ki wajah ek aur sher hai jo aapka dushman hai. Woh kehta hai ke yeh jungle uska hai.”

Sher bohot gusse mein aa gaya aur bola, “Mujhe us dushman ke paas le chalo! Main use sabak sikhaunga.”

Sher ka Jaal Mein Phasna

Khargosh sher ko ek gehre kunwen ke paas le gaya aur bola, “Woh dushman sher is kunwen ke andar rehta hai.” Sher ne kunwen mein jhank kar dekha, to usko apni parchaayi (reflection) nazar aayi. Usne samjha ke yeh doosra sher hai.

Sher gusse mein dahara aur kunwen mein chhalang laga di. Lekin, woh toh paani ke andar doob gaya aur kabhi wapas nahi aaya.

Jungle ka Aman

Khargosh wapas janwaron ke paas gaya aur unhein yeh khushkhabri sunai ke ab woh sher kabhi unhein tang nahi karega. Sab janwaron ne khargosh ki chalaki ki tareef ki aur jungle mein phir se aman aur sukoon ho gaya.

Ibrat:
Yeh kahani humein sikhati hai ke akal aur chalaki se kisi bhi mushkil ko hal kiya ja sakta hai, chahe samne wala kitna hi taqatwar kyu na ho.
