  In the deep forest where the ancient trees whispered secrets to each other, there lived a tiger so fierce and proud that all the animals trembled when they heard his roar. His name was Osebo, and he believed himself the strongest, most fearsome creature in all the land.

  Osebo had grown arrogant from years of being feared. He demanded tribute from every animal—the best fruits from the monkeys, the clearest water from the elephants, the softest grass from the antelopes. “I am the king of this forest,” he would declare, his yellow eyes gleaming with pride. “All must bow before my strength.”

  Deep in the heart of an ancient forest, there stood a magnificent lake known as Chandra Sarovar, the Moon Lake. Its crystal-clear waters reflected the sky so perfectly that it seemed as if the moon itself lived within its depths. Around this lake grew the most beautiful lotus flowers, and its banks were covered with soft, green grass that provided the perfect home for countless small creatures.

  For generations, a large community of rabbits had made their warren in the gentle hills surrounding the Moon Lake. They had dug an intricate network of burrows and tunnels that provided safety, comfort, and easy access to the sweet water and tender grass. The rabbit families lived in harmony, raising their young and enjoying the peaceful life that the lake provided.
