Once upon a time, there was a beautiful jungle. In this jungle, there were various types of trees and vines. And those trees and vines had colorful flowers. And they produced a large variety of tasty fruits. Also, this jungle had so many streams and a river with wonderful waterfalls. Not to forget the grasslands. So, this jungle was an absolute heaven. All the animals enjoyed living in this heavenly jungle, where there were a lot of animals. Among them, there was a smart fox.
One day, while this fox was walking steadily in the forest through trees on the carpet of fallen leaves, he found something. It was white. The fox sniffed it. It smelled like jackfruit. It was a big, chunky ball of jackfruit latex. The fox touched it and found out that it was sticky.
Having discovered something new, the smart fox took a moment and thought. “Can I do something with this? Of course, I can. What can I do with this?” the fox thought. He got an idea. He smiled and took that ball of jackfruit latex with him. Then this crafty fox made a dummy of a small boy from that ball of latex. I thought it was sticky so he could make a dummy. Yes. Because this fox is the one who goes to the house of the villagers and catches chickens.
One day, when he went to catch a chicken during the day, he saw Gamahamine (the housewife of the village man) using water when cutting jackfruit. This smart fox remembered that and realized that water can reduce the stickiness of the latex. So he took the latex ball to the river and made the dummy with wet hands. His hands did not stick. So he easily made a cute little boy out of latex.
After creating the dummy of a cute little boy, the fox took it into the jungle, where small footpaths are. He carefully placed the dummy under a tree. Then he hid under a bush and kept watching. After a while, the bunny came along the footpath. Bunny saw a boy standing under a tree. So, the bunny went closer to the boy and called him.
“Hey baby!” The bunny called the boy. But the baby boy did not talk back. Then the bunny touched him with a hand and called again. But the boy is still silent. Then the bunny realized he couldn’t take his hand away. So he pushed the boy with the other hand and tried to get his hand out. But the other hand is too trapped. Then the bunny used his leg. It was also trapped. Then the bunny used the other leg. But he couldn’t move. All the hands and legs are now stuck to the latex boy. The bunny tried to get away. But he couldn’t.
Meanwhile, the fox was watching the bunny get trapped. He waited until the bunny got stuck completely. Once the bunny got stuck to the ball of latex, the fox jumped out of the bush and caught the bunny. The poor bunny lost his life because he was not careful enough. And the fox caught the bunny because he was smart enough to use what he knew and what he had well for what he wanted to do.
