tearing apart.’’ Now, there was panic all across the forest.

halt with the loud roar of the lion king of the forest. ‘‘Stop

all of you fools. Where are you running away ? What are

at one another without an answer. The rabbit said, ‘‘My

lord, I was resting under a tree. I heard a loud noise.

I think the earth is tearing apart.’’ With a smile, the lion

said, ‘‘OK rabbit, show me the place.’’
