Rabbit’s Inteligence

 

Long time ago, there is one smart rabbit living in an immense jungle, this rabbit always helped others to solve problems in need. In the same jungle, there are two hunters who tried to trap animals and their name is Jake and Benny. Both of these people are hunters, however, their positions quite different. Jake is  always sets his trap on the tree and Benny is always set his trap on the ground.

Once, the rabbit walked and felt thirsty, therefore he tried to stop beside the bank of the river to drink some water. Suddenly, he heard two hunters are in contest and fighting. The rabbit stood behind the tree to hear the whole story and see what is going on. The story occurred like this, Jake and Benny sets their trap and both of them lay down somewhere to rest in the afternoon, once in a while the

lamb walks by and be grabbed on the trap which set on the ground. Instead of seeing the lamb in his trap Ben was sleeping and didn’t notice while Jake saw the lamb grab by Benny's trap and he ran to the trap and took the lamb away and set it to his trap on the tree. When Ben woke up he walked to his trap and noticed that someone took away something and his trap change in different way. Benny walked toward Jake, and Jake said," Ben come and take a look at my trap, I just trapped a perfect lamb. I’ll have a perfect dinner with my family". Ben looked up on the tree and suspected something but he wasn’t sure it is right or not, so the tried to ask Jake several question. Jake do you have any other trap beside these or this is the only want trap you’d set on the tree, Ben asked. Well, this is the only one I owned said Jake. Now Ben got an idea that Jake took away the lamb on his trap. Ben told Jake to tell the truth but Jake said it is his properties, don’t blame me if you have no evidence, Jake said. Then both of them were in fighting. Finally they decide to go to the court to solve the problem and both of them walked toward the court.

At the court, there is one special member, the rabbit, after a few conversations and questions the judge decided to sentence that the lamb belongs to Jake because Ben has no evident to prove that Jake took his lamb and the judge didn’t mind whether the lamb on the tree or Ben’s trap has been opened by someone else. In his seat, the rabbit felt really upset so he stood up and walked toward the center of the court, in front of the judge, the rabbit looked up and talked to the court. Can I ask you one simple question?  The judge said sure no matter go head.

It is out of your imagination but I saw the tiger chased the cat up to the tree while I walk by this morning. The judge heard rabbit’s words and got really mad, he force  the rabbit to get out of the court.    Rabbit smile and said,"I’ll go but before I go, I need to demonstrate that your decision is hundred percent wrong and it is unfair to the other hunter". If you said the tiger never climb tree then how can lamb would be able to climb if they both the same kind of animal which can’t climb. Tiger003.gif (11524 bytes)

Finally, I believe that the lamb on the tree had taken by Jake and it must belongs to Benny because Benny’s trap is on the ground and lamb only grabbed  by trap if it walked on  the ground, except that lamb has magic and it would climb on the tree. Rabbit walked out of the court and never looked back. In his seat, the judge found himself not smart then the rabbit then changed the sentence and at last the lamb belong to Ben.
