asked Big Lion . ` We must dig a ditch , and then you must lie in it and pretend to be dead . ' Big Lion did as he was told , and when he had lain down the little hare got up on a wall blew a trumpet and shouted -- Pii , pii , all you animals come and see , Big Lion is dead , and now peace will be . Directly they heard this they all came running . The little hare received them and said , ` Pass on , this way to the lion . ' So they all entered into the Animal Kingdom . Last of all came the monkey with her baby on her back . She approached the ditch , and took a blade of grass and tickled Big Lion 's nose , and his nostrils moved in spite of his efforts to keep them still . Then the monkey cried , ` Come , my baby , climb on my back and let us go . What sort of a dead body is it that can still feel when it is tickled ? ' And she and her baby went away in a fright . Then the little hare said to the other beasts , ` Now , shut the gate of the Animal Kingdom . ' And it was shut , and great stones were rolled against it . When everything was tight closed the little hare turned to Big Lion and said ` Now ! ' and Big Lion bounded out of the ditch and tore the other animals in pieces . But Big Lion kept all the choice bits for himself , and only gave away the little scraps that he did not care about eating ; and the little hare grew very angry , and determined to have his revenge . He had long ago found out that Big Lion was very easily taken in ; so he laid his plans accordingly . He said to him , as if the idea had just come into his head , ` Grandfather , let us build a hut , ' and Big Lion consented . And when they had driven the stakes into the ground , and had made the walls of the hut , the little hare told Big Lion to climb upon the top while he stayed inside . When he was ready he called out , ` Now , grandfather , begin , ' and Big Lion passed his rod through the reeds with which the roofs are always covered in that country .
The little hare took it and cried , ` Now it is my turn XXXXX pierce them , ' and as he spoke he passed the rod back through the reeds and gave Big Lion 's tail a sharp poke .
