"The Lion and the Hare: An East African Folktale," retold by Dr. Stephen Krensky, tells the story of a clever hare who outsmarts a powerful lion. In the tale, the lion, known for his strength and fierceness, promises to eat the hare. However, the crafty hare devises a plan to save himself. He tricks the lion into believing that another animal is challenging him and uses the opportunity to demonstrate the importance of intelligence over brute strength. This folktale imparts valuable lessons about wit, cunning, and the idea that cleverness can triumph over sheer force. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
