Mother Deer. You say he’s wise?
Jackal. He is.
Mother Deer. And brave?
Jackal. He is.
Mother Deer. Then I will go at once.
Scene III—In Front of Bunny Rabbit’s Burrow
Bunny Rabbit. Good morning, Mother Deer. What is the matter?
Mother Deer. Bunny Rabbit, that wicked lion stole my little deer and will not give it to me. I asked the forest animals to help me, but none was brave enough to do so.
Bunny Rabbit. Not even the elephant, or the camel, or the jackal?
Mother Deer. Not one. I asked them all. They all said they were sorry. But I believe they are all afraid of the lion.
