Lion. Where did you see it?
Timid Hare. There, by that tree.
Lion. Oh, what nonsense! There are no signs that the sky is falling. Come with me and I’ll show you.
Timid Hare. No, no, I must hurry along. I am afraid to go back.
Lion. Yes, you shall come with me to that tree. I will take you there myself. [Lion and hare go to the tree.]
Lion. There, do you see? The sky is not falling. A little acorn fell upon a leaf. It made the noise that frightened you. Let us go back now, and tell the other animals.
