00:00Deep in the heart of an ancient forest, where the moss hung thick from the old oaks

00:06and the stream's whispered secrets, lived a cunning wolf with a coat as dark as midnight.

00:13His eyes were sharp and gleamed with hunger. For many moons, he had struggled to catch enough

00:19prey to fill his belly. The animals had grown wary of his scent and quick feet.

00:24So, he decided to use a different kind of trap, not one of claws or teeth, but of clever deceit.

00:33One day, the wolf climbed onto a flat mossy rock beneath a towering tree. He spread out a faded

00:39old blanket and set upon it a stack of dried leaves and cracked acorns, pretending they were sacred

00:46texts. With a slow, solemn voice, he called out to the creatures of the forest,

00:52Come, all who seek wisdom! I am the sage of the woods, possessor of ancient knowledge.

01:00Ask your questions, and I shall guide you. And the wolf tilted back his head and closed his golden

01:06eyes, trying to look as dignified as possible. Soon, curious animals began to gather, a nervous

01:14squirrel inch closer clutching a pine cone in his tiny paws. Oh, wise sage! The squirrel asked timidly,

01:22How can I store enough food for the winter? The wolf cracked one eye open. He pretended to ponder

01:29deeply. Gather all the nuts you can find, he said, voice low and rumbling. But leave them in a clearing

01:38I will show you. I shall watch over them to protect them. The squirrel nodded gratefully and scurried

01:46away to follow his instructions. The wolf licked his lips, imagining the feast he would have later.

01:53Soon, a shy hedgehog stepped forward. Great sage! The hedgehog mumbled. How do I avoid the fox who

02:01chases me every dawn? The wolf stifled a grin. You must come sit near my rock every morning.

02:08He intoned solemnly. My presence will frighten the fox away. More animals lined up with questions.

02:17The wolf, hidden behind his false wisdom, tricked each of them into trusting him.

02:22One by one, they carried food to his chosen clearing or agreed to gather near his rock where

02:29he could catch them easily. His plan was working perfectly. But not everyone believed his tales.

02:36Watching from a patch of ferns was a small rabbit with bright eyes and a quick mind.

02:43She had always listened more carefully than she spoke. And something about this, sage,

02:50made her whiskers twitch. When the animals began to leave, the rabbit hopped forward and bowed low

02:57before the wolf. Oh, wise and learned sage! She began, her voice sweet and polite.

03:03I have heard you hold the answers to every riddle. The wolf lifted his chin proudly.

03:10Indeed, little one. Ask your question. The rabbit flicked her ears. Long ago,

03:17my grandmother told me of a hidden plant deep in the forest. Whoever eats it becomes so clever no trap

03:24can catch them. Surely you know where this plant grows? The wolf blinked. He had never heard of such a

03:32plant, but he did not want to appear ignorant. Of course, he declared. Though sweat prickled under

03:39his fur. It grows near the old hollow log by the northern stream. The rabbit tilted her head.

03:47Strange, because my grandmother said it blooms only beneath the tallest oak on the eastern ridge.

03:53Strange. The wolf's tail twitched. Hey, yes, that too, he stammered. There are two places.

04:02The rabbit's eyes glittered with understanding. But then, wise sage, what color are its flowers?

04:10Blue. The wolf lied quickly. The rabbit's ears perked higher. So odd. My grandmother said they were

04:18white. By now, the other animals had gathered again, listening closely. The rabbit stood tall on her

04:25hind legs. Oh, creatures of the forest. She called, her voice clear and strong. Do you see? This sage

04:34knows nothing. He is no wise elder. He is the hungry wolf who prowls our paths. Gassips rose from the crowd.

04:42The squirrel dropped his pine cone. The hedgehog backed away trembling. The wolf snarled and bared

04:50his teeth. But the animals had already scattered into the trees. The rabbit hopped backward, never

04:57turning her gaze from his furious face. Left alone and humiliated, the wolf's hunger burned hotter than

05:04ever. But no creature dared trust him again. From that day forward, the clearing grew silent,

05:11and the rock lay bare. The animals hid their food well and shared their stories of the wolf's lies.

05:19So none would be tricked again. The clever rabbit became known as the forest's true sage.

05:26Respected not for pretending to know everything, but for knowing how to see the truth.

05:32Moral intelligence outwits deceit.
