Did n't you know that fire burns ? ' And in a very few minutes nothing was left of the rabbit but a few bones . When the fire was quite out the little hare went and picked up one of these bones , and made a flute out of it , and sang this song : Pii , pii , O flute that I love , Pii , pii , rabbits are but little boys . Pii , pii , he would have burned me if he could ; Pii , pii , but I burned him , and he crackled finely . When he got tired of going through the world singing this the little hare went back to his friends and entered the service of Big Lion . One day he said to his master , ` Grandfather , shall I show you a splendid way to kill game ? ' ` What is it ? ' 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 XXXXX Big Lion and said ` Now ! '
