Once upon a time, in a forest lived a hare who loved to play pranks on his animal friends. One day, he decided to play a trick on the fox. He told the fox that he saw a fish bigger than a elephant swimming in the river. The fox didn't believe him and said, "There's no way a fish could be that big!" But the hare convinced him to come and see for himself.

When they got to the river, the hare pointed to a rock and said, "Look, there it is!" The fox ran over to the rock, but then he realized it was just a trick. Suddenly, a dolphin popped out of the water, surprising both of them. The dolphin laughed and said, "You guys are so easy to fool!"

The hare, fox, and dolphin became fast friends and went on many adventures together. They met a friendly frog, a curious giraffe, and even a crocodile who loved to sing. They also encountered an eagle who offered to help them fly, but the hare declined saying he preferred to run.

One day, they came across a bird who had lost its way. The hare suggested they help the bird find its way home. The other animals agreed and they set off on a new adventure. Along the way, they met a lizard and a fish who joined them.

Finally, they reached the bird's home and the bird was overjoyed. As a thank you, the bird invited them all to a feast. They feasted on fruits, berries and insects. And as they ate and laughed, they realized that they had all come together as friends because of the hare's silly trick.

The End.
