Reading Aloud

Once upon a time, there lived a hare and a hyena. They were good friends and lived near each other. They had many cows. They used to take them to the grazing field in alternating days. Their children played together in the compound.

Hyena was lazy and did not like working. When it was his turn to go to the field he would wake up late and report back early. This did not go well with the hare. Hyena came home complaining of hunger. Hare got angry at one point and warned his friend that their friendship would come to an end if they continued that way. Hyena threatened to eat hare's young ones if he failed to provide enough food. This prompted the hare to walk away from him.
