hungry, ”said the Buffalo, feeling impatient.”I’m still confused, how to get to the other side,” replied
Deer.
“Ha ha ha. Why be confused? Just cross it, “said the Buffalo, making it easy.

Hap! Suddenly Crocodile appeared, and immediately pounced on the buffalo. The buffalo could not
escape. Actually Crocodiles are targeting Deer, but Deer never cross. Luckily, there was a Buffalo
that couldn’t wait and rushed across.
The deer ran scared. He looked for another river. Arriving at the other side of the river, he thought
again. Then from behind, a rabbit appears that runs very fast.
“Hi, Deer. Why are you pensive? ” asked the Rabbit,
“I still haven’t figured out how to cross the sword,” replied the deer.
“Just swim across,” Rabbit, then threw himself into the river.
What happened? Olala, Rabbit’s body was carried away by the river currents. He was lost, drowned
by the swift river currents.

deer spread the tree over the river.
Aha! Be the banana tree bridge. Deer directly crossed the bridge. Finally, the deer can get across

Rabbit and Tortoise

Once upon a time, there was a rabbit who was popular because of his pride. There was a tortoise
whom he had once taunted as slow and stupid, challenging the proud rabbit to a sprint race. Actually
the tortoise didn’t want to deal with rabbits, but he wanted to teach him a little lesson.

With full confidence, the rabbit agreed to the tortoise’s challenge. He wondered how the super slow-
moving turtle could beat him. Then, they agreed to determine the long path to be followed for a race.

The match between the two undoubtedly invites the other animals’ curiosity. They all also want to
see how the tortoise can beat the rabbit. The animals show their support for the tortoise because
they also dislike the hare’s prideful nature.

A monkey was appointed as the referee to oversee the game. When the race had just started, the
rabbit darted away leaving the tortoise. Not wanting to give up just like that, the turtle still tried its
best and increased its running speed.

Feeling that the turtle was still far behind him, in the middle of the race he decided to rest and fall
asleep. But when he woke up, the rabbit was really shocked because it turned out that the turtle had
reached the finish line. Getting this fact, the other animals cheered and the rabbit came home
embarrassed.
