I once dueled with an elephant, and I got into its nostrils and bit it so hard that it cried out for mercy! For me, the elephant does not matter, I have what to fear! The white rabbit said to the mouse: "You little bean, you are twenty times smaller than me by weight, and you dare to show off here! I am the winner of three marathons, and once I set a world record. Even the cheetah is afraid of me! The rooster said: Shut up, all of you! As the saying goes, when the rooster sings, the sun comes out according to my cry, and even humans listen to my command, get up and get down according to my order, so I am the best in the world! They were bragging about it, and there was a tiger lying in the grass next to them, seemingly sleeping, seemingly awake, listening to their words and smiling with closed eyes.
