- Description: There was once a rabbit who liked dancing but used to come home late at night. His mother taught him a special song to sing so that she would know who it was and let him in. A hyena heard the rabbit singing his song and made a plan to eat up his mother. First he was unsuccessful, but later on he succeeded. The mother opened the door and he ate her up. When the rabbit came home he could hear it was not his mother who replied and he killed the hyena with his axe. Story song
