But I was also drawn to the The Foolish, Timid Rabbit because this little Rabbit was able to get everyone to think that the world was falling apart. This gives the story comedic effect because we know that a fallen coconut is really the cause for the end of the world.
The mindless followers seem like some people today who will just believe anything and are easily swayed.
I liked the Lion because he appears a stable and wise character amid all the chaos. His status makes the lesser animals fear him and I like to think that he was annoyed with the Rabbit because his kingdom was being disrupted and he knew there was no way the world was breaking.
