Reading Notes: The Foolish, Timid Rabbit
These stories were different than what I was expecting. The were very concise and fairly simple. One of my favorites was The Foolish, Timid Rabbit, which tells the story of a single rabbit starting a widespread panic because of his foolishness. He hears a coconut fall from a tree and thinks it is the sound of the earth breaking up without even looking to investigate. He begins running and spreads the idea more and more until finally the wise lion has the sense to investigate. I almost expected this story to end with some kind of moral like in a children's books because of the simplicity of the writing. I enjoyed the plot, and as the description says, it reminded me of the movie Chicken Little.
