In a beautiful field, the ground was covered with grass in the spring season after rain fell in the winter season. The beautiful green leaves of trees appeared. The animals were very happy in the spring season because there was much food. They would eat and be satisfied. Rabbits, cows, and sheep would eat green grass. Lizards would eat flies and other insects that abound in the spring season.
The beautiful white rabbit was eating long grass under the trees. He looked up and found the chameleon looking at him. The rabbit said to her: Spring is beautiful, oh chameleon. She said: Yes, yes, and there is much food, so I am very happy. The rabbit asked her: Tell me, oh chameleon, why do you like to stay on tree branches? She said: Because here I catch many flies and eat them. You know that flies like to fly between tree branches. The little rabbits saw their father the rabbit talking to the chameleon, so they approached him. The mother rabbit also came to hear the conversation as well.
A little rabbit said to him: Who is this you’re talking to, father? He said: This is a chameleon. She doesn’t eat rabbits, so she is our friend. The mother rabbit asked the chameleon: Where are your children, oh chameleon? She said to her: Until now, they haven’t come out of the eggs. So you lay eggs like our friend the chicken? The chameleon said to her: And you don’t lay eggs? She said to her: No, I give birth to my young like the cat does. The chameleon said: And you eat grass and carrots.
The chameleon descended from above the tree, and the rabbit and his wife, the female rabbit, approached her. As for the little rabbits, they were looking at her and afraid of her because the chameleon’s eyes protruded and moved like a ball, and they were covered with thick eyelids. The mother said: Come, let’s greet our friend the chameleon. She doesn’t eat rabbits. The little ones said: But her eyes aren’t like rabbit eyes, and she doesn’t have soft fur like us, and she also has a long tail. We’re afraid of her, mother. The mother said: Never be afraid. She doesn’t harm rabbits.
Come, let’s greet her. They approached her and greeted her. They started playing with her, and they were very happy. Suddenly, the big rabbit stopped playing and started looking up. Everyone also stopped playing and started all looking up. The chameleon said: Why did you stop playing? Come, complete it. The rabbit said to her: Oh my friend the chameleon, we must always look up so that the falcon doesn’t suddenly attack us and eat us. The chameleon said: What will we do if the falcon comes? Let’s think.
She said: I see that we let him descend, then we all attack him and hit him. The rabbit said: Allow me to tell you that your opinion is wrong. We don’t have sharp fangs or claws like the wolf, and you don’t have sharp teeth or a sharp beak. The rabbit said: The correct opinion is that we hide so he doesn’t see us. The chameleon said: But how can we hide ourselves? The rabbit said: My house is called a burrow, and I always dig it under the ground. So I will run quickly to my house and hide in it. While they were talking, a falcon appeared in the sky.
The rabbits ran quickly to the burrow, and the chameleon colored her skin green, so she became like the grass, and the falcon couldn’t see her.
