Once upon a time, in a forest, there lived many animals and birds like Lions, Rabbits, Porcupines, Oxen, Wild Horses, Foxes, Peacocks, Parrots, Bulbuls, etc. 

And there was one evil and greedy snake. He was like no other snake. He had grotesque scales and an elongated body. None of the other animals liked him or talked to him. 

And there was one bunny too. She was sweet and everybody was her friend because she was kind. 

Then one day, the snake got jealous because nobody was his friend and didn't like the way that he was alone. So, he thought, "I must do something to get that rabbit out of my way" and again thought, "I should eat her!". By mistake, he said that out loud and too bad for him, the sly fox was around and heard him.

The sly fox rushed to the rabbit's burrow and called her. She came out and asked him nicely, "What happened?". The fox said with shiver in its voice, "The snake will eat you, the snake will eat you!". "Don't worry, we will trick that fool. Besides, he doesn't have brains!", said the rabbit. The rabbit then whispered in fox's ears and went from one animal to another and soon the word got to all the ears in the forest, but ofcourse, not to the snake's. 

The plan was that when he would be sleeping, his elongated tail would be tied to a tree with a rope. Rabbit also asked a human who she knew, who could sculpt a replica of her.

And when the snake wakes up, he would be tied to a tree and the sculpture of the rabbit would be right in front of him. He would bite the sculpture making his teeth get stuck in it. He would become harmless. 

Once they did that, the snake did not come back to the forest and was never to be seen again.

Moral of the story: 

Don't get jealous and be content with what you have!
