The fox went on vacation - short story with a message

One fox felt that he had to take leave from another job he could no longer function and so he must detach himself from the job and take a break and leave the forest.

The fox came to Aryeh the king of the forest and asked him for freedom, the lion told him that his job required him to stay in the forest and therefore he could not take freedom. The fox insisted and told Aryeh that freedom was necessary and he was willing to take a vacation without pay, the main thing was to go on vacation. The lion explained to the fox that if he went on vacation he would have to take someone in his place and not sure that his device would remain for the fox when he returned. The fox agreed and took the freedom.

Three months later, the fox returned to the forest and reached Aryeh for an interview. When he arrived at the interview, the lion explained that the fox's device was occupied and could not return to the forest. The fox did not agree and after a brief talk with the lion, the lion offered him a temporary job of being a rabbit in the forest and when the fox was free he would be a fox again. The fox agreed and began to function like a rabbit. It was a month when the fox jumped and ran away from other animals until he was tired of his job as a rabbit and decided to go to Aryeh and ask for a job. The lion explained to the rabbit that the fox's device had not yet been opened and should continue to serve as a rabbit. The fox was saddened by the bitter news and wobbled around the forest, and after a while of walking he saw, to his surprise, a rabbit.
The fox approached the rabbit and asked him, "Tell me, rabbit, what are you?"
"I'm a fox," replied the rabbit.
The fox said, "Tell me, 'How come I'm a fox and you're a rabbit and you're a rabbit and you're a fox?

The rabbit replied: "This is what happens when there is a donkey like a lion."
