Amongst those present were also
the rabbit and the
donkey. When the king's ministers saw them,
they shook their heads, then
one said: Sire I
don't think the donkey will
make a good soldier.
They say he's easily
frightened.''
The lion looked at the donkey
then turning to
his ministers, He remarked:
;;He brays louder than I can
roar. He'll stay at
my side and be the trumpet that
will rally the
troops.
The ministers then pointed to
the rabbit:
He's even more nervous than the
donkey.
We should send him home!
Again the lion stood
thoughtfully for a
moment then going over to the
rabbit, he
said: ''You always flee from
your enemies, so
you've learned that you have to
be faster than
the others if you're to
survive. So you'll act as
messenger and within seconds,
all the
soldiers will receive my
orders. ''Then turning
to the crowd, he said: Everyone
can make
himself useful in a war:
everyone can help the
common cause as best he is
able!'' |
