TEXTE ANGLAIS

One day in january , in the middle of the dry season , all water in it . so lion called a meeting of all the animals .

"It hasn't for thee months , " he said . " No , and it won't rain again until march , " said monkey . " If we don't do something soon " , said hare sadly , " we'll all die . " Right " said lion " There's only one thing to do . We must dig a very deep well .

Have we got and hoes ? Asked monkey . No , we'll have to buy some , replied lion, impatiently
But we haven't got any monkey , said hyena .
Then we'll have to sell somothing . said lion . Now , what can we sell ? He thought for a minute , then he said slowly : We'll have to sell our ears . The animals didn't want to sell their ears , but they didn't want to die either . so they agreed to sell them all except hare . he was so proud of his long beautiful ears that he refused to cut them off.

The animals sold their ears , bought some hoes with the money and dig the well . But hare didn't help them at all . Whem the well was finished , the animals took some water to lion .

Hare didn't help us dig the well , said hyena . He didn't sell his ears either , said monkey right , said lion , he didn't help us . then we won't help him . we won't give him any water from the well . he'll soon die .

A few weeks later the animals met again . hare was still alive , and he looked very happy too i think he gets water from the well at night , said monkey .

He looks very sleepy . but how can we stop him ? He's very clever , and he runs faster than all of us , said lion . I ve got ari idea , said hyena . leave it to me . I' il catch him tonight .
That night hyena went to the well with a heavy bag and hid behind some busines .
