Out of the three kids, one of them was very naughty and he always disobeyed his mother, he complained about the fact that his mother did not provide enough things for him so he started to move with some friends that were not responsible.

His mother warned all her kids about the people they should not move close to as they will only destroy them in the end, but the stubborn kid rabbit made friends with everyone and he always liked to move around carelessly.

One day, he was walking round the street and he saw a Leopard from afar, he was scared and he wanted to run back but the leopard moved close to him and said, my friend you need not to be afraid, I'll like to be your friend and I will protect you as well from other animals.
So they became friends and everyone was surprised as to such relationship, one day Leopard invited his Rabbit friend to come have lunch with him . Rabbit was so excited as he went home to put on his favorite cloth and shoes and dashed out of the house, his mother tried to prevent him from going but it was all to no avail.
