Story of Rabbit, Pond and Moon God
Story:
Once upon a time there was a herd of
elephants, lived in a forest. Suddenly all the sources of water in the forest
had dried up as there were no rains for many years. All the animals and birds
faced the shortage of water and food. All the elephants in the forest
approached their king and explained there problem. The elephant king think over
the problem and said "There was a pond in the forest which was always full
of water as it is connected to an underground source. Let us all shift to that
place".
The entire herd started for that place.
Their joy knew no bounds as they sighted the pond. Within seconds the pond was
occupied by the elephants. The elephants were roamed around the pond and ate
the branches of the trees around the pond. Because of all this the hundreds of
rabbits which are lived in a underground burrows around the pond were crushed
to death under the feet of elephants. The rabbits got worried about the
situation and they gathered together to discuss the ways to save themselves
from the herd of elephants.
They asked their leader to find some
solution. The leader of the rabbits thought a plan and went to the elephant
king. It was a full moon light. The rabbit said that he was the messenger of
the moon god. He said that the moon was the god of the pond and he was not
happy with the elephants. But the elephant king did not believe what the rabbit
said. He asked the rabbit "where is the moon god ?". Then the rabbit
asked him to come alone and took him to the pond. The rabbit showed the reflection
of the moon in the pond to the elephant king. By seeing moon in the pond
elephant king bent on his knees and raised his trunk to salute the moon god. He
believed the rabbit and promised to the rabbit that he would never enter that
pond and left with his entire herd.
