A hare is a clever animal.

1

A hare tricked two, big, heavy animals.

2

He went to Mr Elephant and told him i want to have a tug of war with you.

3

He also went Mr Hippopotamus and told him, "I want to have a tug of war with you."

4

The hare reached the venue first.

5

The elephant and the hippo also arrived but he made sure that the two animals don't see each other.

6

The big animals started pulling and pulling but nothing could move.

7

The rope broke and each fell down.

8

On realising that, what each of them was pulling from either sides was very heavy than what was expected, so each decided to go and see a heavy small so called hare, but each was surprised to see that each was pulling a very big fat animal and the hare had disappeared long time.
