To change the given sentence to indirect speech, we need to report what was said without using the exact words and adjust pronouns, tenses, and other relevant changes.

The indirect speech form of the sentence would be:

The lion informed the hare that he was going to eat him.

Explanation:
When converting direct speech to indirect speech, we generally follow these steps:

1. Identify the reporting verb: In this case, the reporting verb is "said."
2. Change the pronouns: Since the lion is the subject of the reporting verb, we change the personal pronoun "I" to "he." The pronoun "you" becomes "him" as it refers to the hare.
3. Change the tense: Since the original sentence is in the present tense, we need to shift the tense back according to the context. In this case, "am going" becomes "was going."
4. Introduce a reporting clause: We add a reporting clause to indicate who is speaking and what they said. In this case, we use "The lion informed the hare that."

By following these steps, we successfully converted the direct speech sentence to indirect speech.
