The Rabbit, the Fox and the Wolf
One sunny day a rabbit came out of her hole in the ground to enjoy the
fine weather. The day was so nice that she became careless and a fox
snuck up behind her and caught her.
"I am going to eat you for lunch!" said the fox.
"Wait!" replied the rabbit.
"Oh yeah? Why should I wait?"
"Well, I am just finishing my thesis on 'The Superiority of Rabbits
over Foxes and Wolves.'"
"Are you crazy? I should eat you right now! Everybody knows that a fox
will always win over a rabbit."
"Not according to my research. If you like, you can come into my hole
and read it for yourself."
"You really are crazy!" But since the fox was curious, he went with the
rabbit. The fox never came out.
A few days later the rabbit was again taking a break from writing and
sure enough, a wolf came out of the bushes and was ready to set upon
her.
"Wait!" yelled the rabbit, "you can't eat me right now."
"And why might that be?"
"I am almost finished writing my thesis on 'The Superiority of Rabbits
over Foxes and Wolves.'
" The wolf laughed: "Maybe I shouldn't eat you; you really are sick ...
in the head."
"Come and read it for yourself; you can eat me afterward if you
disagree with my conclusions."
So the wolf went down into the rabbit's hole and never came out.
The rabbit finished her thesis and was out celebrating in the local
lettuce patch. Another rabbit came along and asked, "What's up? You
seem very happy."
"Yup, I just finished my thesis."
"Congratulations. What's it about?"
"'The Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'"
"Are you sure? That doesn't sound right."
"Oh yes. Come and read it for yourself."
So together they went down into the rabbit's hole. As they entered, the
friend saw the typical graduate abode, albeit a rather messy one after
writing a thesis. And to the right there was a pile of fox bones, on
the left a pile of wolf bones. And in the middle was a large, well-fed
lion, who was the rabbit's advisor.
