One day, Bunny rabbit heard a loudbarking of wild dogs.He was veryscared. He decided to ask for help. He quickly went to his frienddeer.He said, “Dear friend, some wild dogs arechasingme. You are very tall, and you can run very fast. Can you chase them away with yoursharpantlers?”

The deer said, “Yes, I can. But now I am busy. Why don’t you ask bears for help?”

Then, Bunny rabbit ran to a bear for help. “My dear friend, you are very strong. Please help me. Some wild dogs are after me. Please chase them away,” herequestedto the bear.

The bear replied,“I am sorry. I am hungry and very tired. I need to find some food first. Please ask a monkey for help.”

The poor Bunny rabbit went to a monkey, an elephant, a goat and all his other friends. Bunny felt sad, for nobody was ready to help him.

He understood that he had to think of a way out by himself. Suddenly, he had a good idea. He hid under a bush. He lay very still. The wild dogs did not find the Bunny. They went chasing other animals.

Finally, Bunny rabbit learnt that he had to learn to survive by himself, and learn to judge who your ture friends are.

译文：

小兔子住在森林里。他有很多朋友。他为他们感到骄傲。

一天，小兔子听到野狗的吠声。他非常害怕,决定寻求帮助。他赶紧去找他的朋友鹿。他说：“亲爱的朋友，有几只野狗在追我。你很高，而且跑得很快。你能用你锋利的鹿角把它们赶走吗？”

鹿说：“是的，我能。但是现在我很忙。你为什么不向熊求助呢？”

然后，小兔子跑向一只熊寻求帮助。“我亲爱的朋友，你很强壮。请帮帮我。一些野狗在追我。请把它们赶走。”他对熊说。

熊回答道：“对不起。我又饿又累。我得先找点吃的。请向猴子求助吧。”

可怜的小兔子去找了猴子、大象、山羊和他所有的其他朋友。小兔子很伤心，因为他们当中没有一个愿意帮助他。

于是，他明白必须自己想一条出路。突然，他有了一个好主意。他躲在灌木丛下，一动不动地躺着。野狗没有发现小兔子，就去追逐其他动物了。

最终小兔子明白了，他必须学会自己生存，要学会判断谁是真正的朋友。
