and he threw the rabbit in the fire . The moment the rabbit felt the flames he cried out ` Itchi , Itchi , I am burning ; pull me out quick , my friend ! ' But the little hare only laughed , and said , ` No , you may stay there ! It is your own fault . Why were you such a fool as to let yourself be thrown in ? 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 XXXXX my back and let us go .
