It was a lovely day in the meadow. The fox, sneaky and quiet, saw the rabbit mother and her child nibbling on the fresh green grass. He hid behind a bush so the rabbits couldn’t see him. “Today, I am going to have a heavy lunch,” he thought, licking his lips.
The rabbits, unaware of the fox’s presence, continued munching on the grass. The fox crouched low, preparing to pounce. Suddenly, with a swift leap, the fox landed right in front of the rabbits. “Ha ha! I am going to eat you!” the fox announced triumphantly.
“Watch out!” the rabbit mother shouted. The fox looked up and saw a big rock rolling down the mountain towards him. Quickly, he jumped out of the way and narrowly escaped being crushed.
“Thank you for the warning,” the fox said to the rabbit mother, feeling grateful.
“Why did you warn me?” the fox asked curiously.
The rabbit mother smiled gently. “Because life is precious. I don’t want to see you losing your life under that rock.”
The fox, touched by the rabbit’s kindness, decided to leave the rabbits in peace. “I’m sorry for scaring you,” he said. “From now on, I’ll try to be a better friend.”
The rabbit mother and her child smiled and hopped away, happy to be safe. The fox, feeling a little wiser and kinder, wandered off to find something else to eat.
And so, the fox learned an important lesson about kindness and friendship that day. It truly was a lovely day in the meadow.
