The rabbit and the lion is a modern fable, written by Augusto Monterroso, whose moral explains that you never have to trust appearances.

A famous psychoanalyst met one day in the middle of the jungle, half lost. With the strength of instinct and the desire for research, he easily managed to climb onto a tall tree, from which he could observe at his whim not only the slow sunset, but also the life and customs of some animals, which compared one and again with those of humans.

New fable: The rabbit and the lion

At dusk he saw the rabbit appear on the one hand; on the other, the lion.

At first nothing happened worth mentioning, but soon after both animals felt their respective presences and, when they met each other, each reacted as he had been doing since man was male.

The lion shook the forest with its roars, shook the mane majestically as was his custom and split the air with its huge claws; For his part, the rabbit breathed more quickly, saw an instant in the eyes of the Lion, turned and ran away.

Back in the city the famous psychoanalyst published cum laude his famous treatise in which he shows that the lion is the most childish and cowardly animal of the jungle, and the rabbit the bravest and mature.

The lion roars and gestures and threatens the universe moved by fear; the rabbit notices this, knows its own strength, and retires before losing patience and ending with that extravagant and out-of-character being, who understands and who after all has not done anything to him.
