The Moral Sayings of the Wise

Adapted from the everlasting treasures of Kalila and Damna.
It is based on the mutual consultation among the crowd.
It goes as:
A lion who held all the beasts of the surrounding in subjection, and was always in the habit of making raids upon them to snap and kill any of them as he required for his daily food. It lasted vey long until the beasts took counsel together and all agreed to deliver him one of their company each day. They thought that it would satisfy the lion's hunger, and as a result, he would cease to harm them by his continual attacks.
The lion was at first unwilling to trust them and seemed not to believe such words - thus he went on by remarking that he would prefer to rely on his effort. But, by being serious on their decision, the beasts succeeded in persuading him that he would do well to trust them and accept the free offerings.
Having carried the suggestion, the beasts continued for sometime to perform their engagement - sending each day a certain friend of theirs to the lion to devour.
Once it happened to be the turn of a hare to be delivered up as a victim to the lion; but before long he requested the others to let him practise device. The friends mocked him, asking how such a silly beast as he could pretend to outwit the lion. The hare assured them that the wisdom only belonged to Allah, and that was he who might choose weak things to confound the strong. In the end they consented to let him try his luck.
The hare took slowly his way to the lion, and found him roaring in anger. In excuse for his being late he invented that he along with another hare had set out together to appear before the lion, but a strange strong lion had seized the next hare and carried him off into his resting place in a ditch. On hearing the pitiful remarks of the hare the lion was exceeding wroth, and commanded the hare to show him the foe who had trespassed on his area.
Pretending to be afraid of the second lion, the hare got on the present lion to ride to the destiny upon his back, and directed him to a well. On looking down the well, the lion saw in the water the reflection of himself and of the hare on his back.
Quite in rage, he thought that it was the strong enemy of his with the stolen hare, he plunged down into the well to attack him.
From that moment, not only the hare, but all his beast-friends were released by their wise consultation-which is based on Sura Shura, 38 the Holy Qur'an.
