Do not be quick to believe what you are told; think before you act. Lying harms others, so be a truthful person. Curiosity is good, but it should be guided by wisdom.
In English
Hare has a reputation for cleverness, while nosy, talkative Hornbill always wants to know everything. One day Hornbill catches Hare coming out of a cave with bread and demands to know where he found it in a forest with no shop. Hare teasingly invents a story about a magic bread tree that only opens if you sing a certain song, and teaches Hornbill a nonsense song. Hornbill sings all day behind the cave and gets no bread, realising too late he has been tricked. Hare tells him it is his own fault for believing so readily without questioning.
