Lion instructs him to bring a live snake, live doves, and goat tears, turning the task into a test of cleverness. Hare measures and captures the snake with his walking stick, traps the doves using gourds, and gathers goat tears by questioning the goats’ claim. He returns to Lion with the three required items.","The Lion and the Hare  \nEnglish Traditional Story  \nThe Lion and the Hare  \nStory adapted from \"Le lion et le lieèvre\"Karang Literature Committee, Sorombeào, Camerooun  \nImages by  \nMBANJI Bawe Ernest, © 2002 SIL Cameroon.  \nCC-BY-NC-ND 4.0.  \nEnglish  \nCopyright © 2002, SIL Cameroon  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/)[ ](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/)[You may not use this work for commercial purposes.

He carried a walking stick in his hand and two empty gourds on his back.  \nAs he was searching, he first found a snake and asked him,“You are very long, may I measure you with my walking stick to see how long you are?”  \nHare used his walking stick as the measuring instrument. The snake proudly stretched itself out as far as it could and Hare quickly tied it onto his walking stick.  \nWith the snake tied to his walking stick and the two empty gourds on his back, Hare walked a little further and found some turtledoves. He opened one of the gourds and laid it on the ground. The turtledoves went into the gourd to look for food. When they got inside the gourd, Hare closed it, trapping them inside. He put the gourds on his back, picked up his stick with the snake tied to it and went on to look for goat tears, which was the last thing Lion had asked him to find.  \nA little further along, Hare saw some goats. He went up to them and asked,“I have heard that goats never shed tears. Is this true? Can you show that it is not true by crying tears into this gourd?”  \nThe goats began to cry, and cried until the second gourd was full of their tears.  \nProud of himself, Hare went back to Lion, his king, with a live snake tied to his stick, live doves in the first gourd and goat tears in the second gourd. He had all the things that Lion had asked him to find.","cbCailHZNrZ0Kg5t","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailHZNrZ0Kg5t","pdf",409808,13,"English","en",105,"# Story\n## Lion’s Request\n## Hare’s Search and Capture\n## Collecting Goat Tears\n## Hare Returns to Lion","[{\"question\":\"Why does Hare go to see Lion?\",\"answer\":\"Hare wants Lion, the king of animals, to give him medicine that will make him the wisest of all animals.\"},{\"question\":\"What three things does Lion ask Hare to bring?\",\"answer\":\"Lion asks Hare to bring a live snake, some live doves, and some goat tears.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Hare get the doves and the goat tears?\",\"answer\":\"Hare traps the doves in a gourd by letting them enter and then closing it.
