A story from the Panchatantra written in Sanskrit two thousandyears ago, about what a rabbit can do when it has no choice but to think.A lion was terrorizing a forest. Killing not from hunger, but from pleasure.The animals struck a deal - one animal sent to his den every day. Voluntarily.One day it was the rabbit's turn.The rabbit walked very slowly.Stopped to eat grass.Stopped to rest in the shade.Arrived at sunset instead of morning.The plan was forming the entire time.What happened at the well has been retold for two thousandyears - because it is still true.Intelligence is power.New story every day.Follow so you never miss one.
