The animals of the grasslands have a problem. A very hungry lion wants to eat them all! To keep the lion happy, they agree to send one animal for him to eat every day. When the hare learns it’s his turn to be the lion’s dinner, he is not happy! Can this clever hare save himself—and all the other animals—from the lion?
