One day, a bull wished to cross a stream. While it was standing at the riverbank, a rabbit came along.

"where do you want to go ?" asked the rabbit.

"I want to go to the other side of the stream. Do you know which part of the stream is shallower?" replied the bull.

"Why do you want to cross this section which has water? Isn't there a bridge over there?" the rabbit added.

They then went towards the small bridge when the bull saw the small bridge, it began to feel doubtful.

"Will this small bridge break if I cross it ?" asked the bull.

The rabbit answered, "Eh,no! This small bridge is strong enough to support your weight. Don't be afraid! Show me your bravery!"

After listening to the rabbit's words, the bull began to cross the small bridge. When it reached the middle of the small birdge, the small bridge suddently gave way.

The poor bull sprained its leg. With much difficulties, the bull managed to scrambled back to land. The angry bull scolded the rabbit, "hey, rabbit! Look what happened to me for listening to your good suggestion just now ! If i had crossed at the shallow part, i wouldn't have sprained my leg!"

The dumfounded rabbit answer in astonishment, "How strange, yeah? I run on it several times a day but it never gives way! why?
