The Rabbit and the Bear

One day a rabbit was sitting in the forest under a big tree. He was eating nuts. Suddenly a hungry bear came out of the bushes.

"Grr!" the bear growled. "Rabbit! I am going to eat you for dinner!"

"Well, have one of these nuts first," said the rabbit politely.

The bear tasted the nut.

"It's delicious," he said. "Tell me where you got these nuts," he ordered.

"They are growing under the ground," said the rabbit. "I pulled up some weeds and found the nuts. Please help yourself", said the rabbit, smiling. "I don't know which weeds are growing nuts and which aren't."

The bear started pulling up the weeds. The rabbit got up and quickly disappeared in the forest.
