Mr. Rabbit challenges larger animals by inviting them to wait for Saturday and using his knowledge of strategy to pull Mr. Hippopotamus and Mr. Lion toward the top of a hill. As the animals tug the rope searching for the rabbit, they ultimately reach the summit and find him dancing, delivering the message to think and be strong.","Literacy International: Think and Be Strong  \nCopyright © 2018 Literacy International [info@LiteracyInternational.net](info@LiteracyInternational.net)  \nEnglish Traditional Story  \nLiteracy International: Think and Be Strong  \nStory adapted from from the Loma people in up-country Liberia, West Africa.  \nCopyright © 2018 Literacy International [info@LiteracyInternational.net](info@LiteracyInternational.net)  \nEnglish  \nCopyright © 2018, Literacy International  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

I can pull you to the top of that hill over there.”  \nHippo said,“You are too small. I am big.”  \nRabbit told him,“I can do it because I know how to think. Wait for me on Saturday. I will come and pull you to the top of the hill.”  \nAll right,” said Hippo. He went down in the water so the rabbit could only see his nose.  \nThen Rabbit went up the hill and down the other side. There he saw Mr. Lion.“Good Morning,” he said,“What are you doing here?”  \n“This is where I live,” said the lion.  \nThen Rabbit told Lion.“I can pull you away from here. I will pull you to the top of that hill.”  \n“You can’t do that,” said Lion.“You are too small.”  \n“I will see you on Saturday,” he told the lion.  \n“Saturday, I will come and laugh,” said Lion.“But you can tie your rope around me then, if you like.”  \nSaturday came. Rabbit tied one end of his rope on Hippo. We don’t know just how he did that. (He didn’t tell us!) Then he went over the hill with the other end of the rope.  \nRabbit visited Mr. Lion and tied the other end of his rope around him.  \nRabbit went up the hill. He came to the top. He had his rope in his hands but he didn’t pull on it yet. There was a big tree with shade. He rested under it.  \nThe lion did not know the hippopotamus was there. The hippopotamus did not know the lion was there. Each one thought,“I will laugh at this rabbit. I will pull him down.”  \nThen Rabbit came out from under his tree and pulled the rope just a bit in the middle. Then the big animals started to move. They pulled and pulled.  \nBut they did not see any rabbit. They decided to pull themselves up on the rope. They had to see that rabbit.  \nThey kept pulling until they came to the top. And there was the rabbit. He was dancing!  \n“Think and be strong,” he said.  \n(This legend comes from the Loma people in up-country Liberia, West Africa.)","cbCaimN6ySh23ZcX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimN6ySh23ZcX","pdf",321512,4,11,"English","en",105,"# Story\n## Mr. Rabbit’s Plan\n## Saturday and the Rope","[{\"question\":\"What is Mr. Rabbit’s promise to Mr. Hippopotamus and Mr. Lion?\",\"answer\":\"Mr. Rabbit promises to pull them away and take them to the top of the hill, asking them to wait for Saturday.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the story explain the way the rope is used on Saturday?\",\"answer\":\"Rabbit ties one end of his rope to Hippopotamus and the other end around the Lion, then uses a small pull at the right moment to start the animals moving.\"},{\"question\":\"What lesson does the story emphasize at the end?\",\"answer\":\"It concludes with the message, “Think and be strong,” highlighting that thinking and persistence can overcome size and strength.\"}]",1784294239,17,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"literacy-international-think-and-be-strong-english-traditional-story","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,50],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literacy-international-think-and-be-strong-english-traditional-story/90550/",{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-27","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What is Mr. Rabbit’s promise to Mr. Hippopotamus and Mr. Lion?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Mr. Rabbit promises to pull them away and take them to the top of the hill, asking them to wait for Saturday.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"How does the story explain the way the rope is used on Saturday?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Rabbit ties one end of his rope to Hippopotamus and the other end around the Lion, then uses a small pull at the right moment to start the animals moving.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What lesson does the story emphasize at the end?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"It concludes with the message, “Think and be strong,” highlighting that thinking and persistence can overcome size and strength.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
