 Written by: Najia Nijat

Once upon a time there was a rabbits living in a big jungle beside other animals and birds. The rabbit hat two kittens. The male kitten name was Chito and his sister’s name was Pito. Chito was not satisfied for being rabbit and he liked to have wings and could fly.

One of the days, Chito and Pito went out from their house for playing.

Chito said to Pito that he could fly but Pito did accept and said that it is not possible to fly without having wings.

Chito said that last day a crow told him that if he wants to fly, he should jump from a high place.

A fox heard their chat and hid behind a big tree. When Chito climbed on a precipice and when he jumped down, his head touched to a big stone and injured his head. The fox went near to catch him but a cow, grazing near to Chito heard the crying and rescued Chito.  Pito informed her mother and she came and took Chito to her home and the monkeys’ doctor treated Chito’s wound.

Next day Chito went out again from his house with Pito. They saw that some birds in a tree were flying from one branch to the other. Chito enjoyed their flying and said to Pito that he discovered the secret of flying.

Pito asked about the secret. Chito replied that he would climb a tree and he would be able to fly.

Pito prevented him but he was insisting on his decision. Pito got angry with him and went back home. Meanwhile, the fox saw pito alone in the jungle but she said if she attack him, the other animals might rescue him. She wanted Chito to go with her to her house and she has a kind of balm that when he applies it to his legs, he would grow wings and then he would be able to fly easily As chito was fond of flying, he went with the fox.

Chito wanted her to bring the balm but the fox said that she deceived him and would eat him soon and then the fox went out and put some stones behind her house gate.

Chito was crying but there was no one to help him. Pito informed her mother from the issue and she came with Pito to rescue Chito. When the reached near the fox’s house, they saw that fox entered her house and the sadly sat under a big tree. They thought the fox had been eaten Chito. Meanwhile Chito arrived and greeted them.

His mother asked him that who rescued him. Chito replied that once his mother taught them if they face any problems, the should dug the ground and went out of it and she said that she did the same and now his life is saved. Pito and her mother became very happy. Chito promised that she would never have an expectation that is not possible and said that is he had wing, he would not be able to dig the ground and rescue himself from the danger of death.
