If you only knew how Bukki the Hyena loved meat! One day a shepherd said,
“Bukki, I’m going to put you in charge of bringing fifty goats
out to the bushlands.” The hyena sat back in his folding chair, singing,
“I don’t even have to hunt, because I have all the goats I can
eat!” As soon as he heard this song, Lëk the Hare ran to the shepherd’s
house.
“Are you the owner of the goats that Bukki must bring to the bushlands?
Be careful, because Bukki is already planning to take advantage of you. He’s
going to eat them all!”
“Oh my! I had no idea.” The shepherd headed to Bukki’s house
right away and told him,
“Bukki, I’ve changed my mind. I’m going to take my own animals
to the bushlands, because I don’t trust you anymore.” Bukki immediately
began to cry.
“But who could have warned the shepherd?”
