Once there lived three little Rabbits- Brown Rabbit, Jack Rabbit, and Billy Rabbit- in a green valley.
They had a large flower garden amidst the grassy slopes of the valley. Spring came and when all the flowers bloomed, the Rabbits decided to take their flowers to the market and sell it.

On the first day, Brown Rabbit collected all the flowers they had picked, put them on watered pots and took them to the market on a cart. The path to the market was very rocky and hard. Brown Rabbit, who had been moving over soft grass had soft soles, and the hard surface of the path cut into his feet. He took a lot of time to travel. By the time he reached the market, the flowers had whithered and he could get only very little money selling the flowers. Braving the pain of journey again, when he reached back home, his soles were hard and rough and calloused.

On the second day it was Jack Rabbit's turn to go to the market. Seeing the turn of events for his friend the previous day, he decided to do something about the road. After considerable thought he hit upon the idea to cover the road with grass so as to cushion his feet and to even out the surface. Along with the flowers, he pushed another cart filled with grass with which he covered the road ahead before moving forward.
Soon the grass cart was empty and he hadn't covered even a quarter of the way to the market. So he began cutting leaves and grass from around the place to cover the road. It took him a long time and even by nightfall he had not reached market. The flowers had long dried out and whithered. Tired and exhausted he made his way back, consoling himself that on the morrow his friend Billy Rabbit would benefit from his efforts. But, to his dismay, he saw that all the grass that he had covered the road with, had blown away in the wind, leaving it as hard and rocky as before. Jack returned home disheartened.

The next day it was Billy's turn. Seeing the plight of his friends, he thought long and clear and hit upon an idea. He took some old leather and made shoes for all of them, cushioning with grass to comfort the sole. And wearing the shoes he went to the market, sold the flowers for a handsome profit, bought all the stores that they required and returned home.

At home, his friends welcomed him heartily. Wearing the shoes he made for them, Brown Rabbit and Jack Rabbit exclaimed:- "The whole earth is now cushioned like a grass covered valley!".

The Wise teacher said:-
" World is much like the path the Rabbits had to travel. It appears rocky, hard and rough.
Some people bravely suffer the hard life. They complete their journey like Brown Rabbit - tired and with their heart-body-mind as hard and rough and calloused as Brown Rabbit's soles.
Some others try their best to change the World like Jack Rabbit tried to change the surface of the road. They, invariably, do not reach their destination but see their efforts being blown away by the winds of time.
The third kind of person strives for enlightement. And becoming enlightened, protected by the sheath of Self-knowledge, he is untouched by the apparent harshness or irregularities of Life. It is He that provides lasting comfort to his fellow beings."
