Chapter 2
Do you think am a fool? If i let you go now, surely you will not come back to the tarp".the hunter said.
I promise i will come back to be trapped if you set me free".
The rabbit promised the hunter.
The hunter was confused. He did not know what to do.
Please, release me for the sake of my bunnies and i will come back." The rabbit pleaded again. the hunter was touched by the plight of the rabbit.
The hunter released her.
The rabbit ran away fast.
She did not even, wait to say thank you' to the hunter.
The hunter stood there waiting for the rabbit to come back.
The farmer came. the farmer was the owner of the trap. He was the person that set the trap to catch any animal.
He saw the trap. He saw the hunter there. The farmer knew the trap had caught an animal and thought somebody had taken it.
You have stolen the animal? The farmer accused the hunter.
The hunter wanted to speak but no words came out of his mouth. He knew he had acted foolishly.
You are a thief,you stole my animal". The farmer shouted.
Let me explain". The hunter said.
Explain what? ".
The hunter explained everything to the farmer. The explanation annoyed the farmer. You are lying.
What you are saying is not true. You are a liar".
The farmer shouted at the hunter.
I am not lying. it is true. I am not a liar". The hunter defended himself.
I will report you to the village head for stealing my animal". The farmer threatened.
The farmer reported the case to the village head.

All the farmers were their standing for their fellow farmer.
All the hunters were their too. All the village chiefs were also there.
The farmer explained himself also to the people.
All the villages were assembled in the palace where the case was being decided.
