One upon a time, at the edge of a wood pattern, there lived this clever hyena and the stupid hare. The hyena was so clever that he can easily fooled the hare.

One evening, the hyena said to the hare ,tomorrow i shall visit my in-laws in the village, so the hare agreed to gowith him. They prepared for the journey, the hyena put grass in his bag and the hare also put grass in his bag. While they were going, the hare said, he was tired and decided to rest in someone’s farm.

He sat under the tree, the hyena suddenly shouted at him. What are you doing in farm?  the hare was afraid and decided to hide behind the tree, then the hyena exchanged the bags when the hare came, he said my bag is  light ,the hyena said to him , because you have rested.

When they reached at their in-laws’ house, the hyena asked them  to bring a clean plate and a dirty plate. The in-laws brought a clean plate and a dirty one as ordered, the hyena poured his rice in the clean plate and the hare poured his grass in the dirty plate. The next morning they set back to go home. The in-laws gave hyena a very big cow and gave the hare a small sick goat.  

While they were going the hare looked at his goat and said, you are walking with four legs but you will soon, walk with your head. He cut off the legs eat them and he said again you are walking with your head but you will soon be out of control,he ate the goat and gave hyena the intestines.The hyena was angry and he kept the intestines.

When they reached home, hyena waited until the sun was going down (evening time), he asked the hare to catch that fire for me and I will give you half of my meat. The hare was very happy and he began to run. He ran and ran until his shoes were cut off. When he came back, he met that the hyena have finished cooking and he ate all the meat. He took the intestines which the hare gave him and put it in the cooking pot. The hare opened the pot and saw the intestines . He was very angry and hanged himself.
