Fox Trape
The Wise Fox's Lesson Two rabbits in the forest used to cause trouble for the other animals. When the animals complained to the forest's wisest elder, Zareen Bibi the fox, she devised a plan to save them from the rabbits' mischief. She assigned Black Mouse to the task. Black Mouse told Bablu and Tablu that Leopard Uncle had a lot of goods and plenty of food at his house. He suggested that they borrow a handcart from his uncle so they could easily bring the supplies back. In the dead of night, both rabbits set off for the leopard's house. They couldn't see the leopard anywhere, so they loaded their handcart to the brim with goods. Just as they reached the door to leave, the leopard suddenly appeared right in front of them. Terrified, Bablu and Tablu began blaming each other, claiming the other had suggested the theft. Both tried to trap and implicate one another. The leopard chased after them to catch the thieves, and the two rabbits ran frantically around the house while the leopard tried to grab them. Meanwhile, Zareen Bibi the fox and Black Mouse entered the house. Seeing them, Bablu and Tablu finally understood what game had been played on them. Zareen Bibi and Black Mouse led them outside the house. Zareen Bibi began to explain to them that true happiness does not come from tormenting others, but from helping them. Filled with shame, Bablu and Tablu resolved to change themselves. Afterward, they began distributing food among the animals of the forest, having learned that hurting others never brings true happiness.
Spreading corruption on earth
The Vegetable Farm Story At the vegetable farm, Cabbage complains and argues with Tania, saying, "You only love Cabbage, you take care of her, and we never get your attention." All the other vegetables join in, shouting and screaming, which makes Tania very distressed. Golu Molu, a cute little goat hiding in the bushes, sees this situation, leaps out, and tries to explain to the vegetables that Tania loves everyone and takes care of all of them. However, Cabbage and Bitter Gourd refuse to listen to him and start arguing with Golu Molu instead. Hearing the loud noise on the farm, Golu Molu gets angry, steps forward, and starts eating all the vegetables that were creating the chaos. Seeing this, Tania panics and stops Golu Molu from doing so, but Golu Molu—after eating the quarrelsome vegetables and crushing some of them—runs away toward the path leading to the village, leaving Tania sitting there with her head in her hands in despair.
