Old Lion and Little Rabbit

(4) K-3 Translated by Sayako Uchida. Solitary Old Lion raises a lost baby rabbit: "If I let him eat enough, he'll grow up to be big and delicious!" Eventually realizing how lonely he has been and how much he cares for the bunny, the lion frees his captive and swears off rabbit meat. This moralistic (and slightly creepy) tale is accompanied by more successful, evocative pencil and acrylic illustrations.
