Read together
Once upon a time, there was a group of animals who lived in a forest. One day, a rabbit was accused of stealing carrots from a farmer's field. The rabbit was the defendant in a trial.
The animals were asked to participate in the process of finding the truth. They gathered all the evidence they could find and presented it in court. But the rabbit insisted he was innocent and the other animals started to believe him.
As the trial went on, the judge realized that everyone was having so much fun participating in the process that he declared the rabbit innocent just so the trial could continue!
The end.
