Shulo the Hare and Jongwe the Rooster

One day, Shulo the Hare visited Jongwe the Rooster and was astonished—Rooster was standing on one leg, with his head gone! The next day, Rooster looked perfectly fine again, with both legs and his head back.Shulo asked how this was possible. Rooster explained that his head and leg had “gone visiting”—to another kraal, where they enjoyed singing and beer-drinking, and returned the next day.The Hare, eager to try, ran home and told his wife to cut off his head and leg so they could go visiting too. She warned him he would die, but he insisted. She obeyed, and Shulo fell down dead.When she rushed to Rooster for help, he laughed. His head had never been cut off—he had only tucked it under his wing. His leg was not gone—he had simply pulled it up while sleeping. The “visits” were only pleasant dreams.✨ Moral: Do not copy blindly what you do not understand. Curiosity and envy can lead to foolishness—and even disaster.🔗 Explore more folktales and wisdom stories here: mythopia.io - Folktales
