❖ The Hare’s Liver ❖
～Who is wiser, the turtle or the hare?～

Once upon a time, in an undersea kingdom, there was a dragon king who was very sick. In his search for a remedy for his illness, he found a remarkable physician who told him that consuming the liver of a hare would surely bring back his failing health.


The dragon king pondered, ”How can I get my hands on the liver of a hare that lives on land?”


With great courage, a turtle proclaimed, ”I will venture onto the land myself!” and set off on their journey.


Upon encountering a hare, the turtle promised them a prestigious position in the undersea kingdom. Fooled by the turtle’s persuasive words, the rabbit eagerly descended to the dragon palace.


Quickly realizing that they had been tricked, the rabbit stood before the dragon king and bravely declared,


"I’ve left my liver behind on dry land!"


The king and turtle foolishly agreed to bring the rabbit back up to the land once again.


Seizing the opportunity, the rabbit escaped into the distant forest, never to be seen again!
