Hare and the Well

This tale was documented in Gulu District, situated in Northern Uganda's cultural region known as Acholiland, where the Acholi people speak the Acholi language. The Acholi culture places a high value on working together as a community to solve challenging problems, as it fosters peace and unity among individuals who rely on one another.

The story revolves around a village without water, prompting all the animals to come together to dig a well to address the water scarcity. However, Hare refuses to participate in the digging of the well. This leaves a question hanging over whether the other animals will allow Hare to use the well despite his lack of contribution.
