Here’s a little African folk tale.
Why the
Hare Has No Tail
Long, long ago the animals had no tails or very small ones.
One day the Lion asked all the animals to come to him to get good fat tails. It
was cold that day, and it was raining. The hare had only a short little tail,
but he did not like to go out and said to the other animals, "Please,
bring me a tail. I can't go anywhere when it rains."
"What tail do you want to have?" the animals asked
him.
"Oh, any tail will be good for me. But it must not be
too long or too short."
Sometime later the animals came back, and each animal had a
beautiful tail. But nobody brought a tail for the hare.
I think that some of them forgot about the hare, some had no
time, some could not find a good tail for the hare.
But I do know this: if you must do something, don't ask
others to do it for you. Don't forget about the hare with his short little
tail!"
