Identifying the Main Idea of a Story

Once upon a time in a small village, there lived a clever fox and a lazy rabbit. The fox spent its days hunting for food and finding clever ways to keep itself busy. In contrast, the rabbit preferred to lie in the sun and eat carrots without any worry. One day, the rabbit asked the fox how it always seemed to have plenty to eat. The fox replied, “I work hard to find my meals, while you waste your time resting.” The rabbit thought about this and decided to try being more active. Over time, the rabbit learned to hunt for food and became much happier.

This story teaches an important lesson about hard work and its rewards.
