Saving the Hare

In a small forest near our village, there was an amazing story about how a hare was rescued from a well.

One clear sunny day, a group of kids decided to go for a walk in the woods. They were going to play, pick berries and just enjoy nature. During one of their games, they came across an old, abandoned well, which was covered with thick grass and thickets of bushes. As they got closer, the children heard a soft, pleading sound. It was a pet rabbit that seemed to get lost and fell into a well.

The guys immediately realized that they needed to act. They started discussing how to get a rabbit. One of the boys, Petya, suggested using the long rope they had brought with them for the game. The children all agreed with this idea. They tied one end of the rope to a nearby tree, and lowered the other end into the well.

The problem was that the rabbit was scared and didn't want to go to the edge of the well. The guys decided to work as a team. They started calling him softly, offering him carrots, which one of them had saved up in case of a snack. Gradually, the rabbit, smelling delicious food, approached the edge, and then one of the guys, carefully bending down, was able to tie a rope around him.

Gathering all their strength, the guys began to pull the rope. Gradually, the bunny was lifted up, and after a few tense minutes, he was free! The children screamed with joy. The bunny looked scared, but when he saw that his friends were around him, his fear dissipated. He soon ran off into the woods, free and happy.

This story about how the guys showed courage and friendship became a real lesson for them. They realized how important it is to help others, even if it is a defenseless animal. Since then, they often returned to that very well, but now only to enjoy nature and remember how they saved the hare.
