Aniz saw the rabbit too. He put down his flute, stretched out his hand, took hold of it by its long ears and handed it to the eldest son. Here you are. Hold it tightly! If it escapes, its none of my business.
The eldest son paid the money, thanked Aniz profusely and set off home with the little white rabbit. He was about to leave the forest when he heard Aniz playing the flute again. As soon as the rabbit heard the music, it burst from his hand and ran for all it was worth. The eldest son searched for it for a long time but could not find any trace of it. In the end he gave up and went to see Aniz again.
The white rabbit has run away. What can I do? he asked.
Aniz answered, There is nothing I can do about it. Didnt I warn you a moment ago to hold it tightly? Its no use blaming me.
The eldest son had no alternative but to go home empty handed and tell his story to the landlord.
The second son said, Father, dont worry. Ill go and catch it tomorrow. Next day, the second son went to try his luck and met the same fate as his elder brother time wasted and another thousand strings of cash down the drain. On the third day, the youngest son went, but he fared no better.
It made the landlord very angry to watch his three sons lose three thousand strings of cash like this, without so much as a piece of fluff to show for it.
You fools! he cried. You worthless pack of fools! Tomorrow I shall go and catch it myself!
