The Hare and the Hyena — East & Southern Africa (Lesser-Known) | Bedtime World Tour
Tonight we travel to Zanzibar, to a tale in which the smallest animal survives on nothing whatsoever except nerve. A lion, a hyena and a hare plant a garden together, and when the season turns they set out on the long road to harvest it. The hare proposes a rule: whoever stops on the road gets eaten. Then he stops — twice — and each time saves himself by announcing that he is thinking, and offering something that is not an answer to anything at all. And both times his companions say: these words are true.
