"Where?" asked the lion.
"I saw it there, under that big coconut tree," said the little hare.
"Come and show me," said the lion.
"O, no, no!" said the little hare. "I am so frightened. I couldn't go."
"Jump on my back," said the lion.
The little hare at last jumped up on the lion's back, and the lion took her back to the big tree.
Just then another coconut fell with a great noise among the leaves.
"O, run, run!" cried the timid hare. "There is that dreadful thing again!"
"Stop and look," said the lion.
As the hare could not get down from the lion's back, she had to stop and look.
