In story one, the animals dance until the water comes, but Rabbit doesn\'t want get his paws dirty. After the animals get water, rabbit swims in the water and makes it all muddy. The animals decide that he should pay for his attitude and rudeness. But who will catch him and who will make him pay?

In the second story, Jackal is caught in a trap while trying to sneak off with some young meat. Monkey thinks this is hilarious, but Jackal convinces him that it is all just a game and that Monkey should come and try. Will he fall for it?

In story three, Lion and Jackal are again hunting together. It goes about as well as it did last time, and Lion ends up getting more than his fair share.
