i

ong time ago, there was a lion who was a lor:ely king. The inhabit-

ants of the jungl e respected and loved him very much. The king's daily food was

t"fruit and grass. He was familiar withthem. He gave food to the birds,

chatted with chickens, helped insolving problems and reconciled

quarrels. In fact, he was popular.

-:v trb-. n:!:jj!?t&4.

}**'-""'

The king's popularity made all of the inhabitants respect him. Everymorning, for example, they greeted him. While nodding their heads, they wouldgfeet him polite[t.

"Good morning, your honour. I hope you're always fine.""Thank you, my people. I am fine!" answered the lion kindly.

The lion became a helpful and generras figure. In orde r to gluern hispeopie wisely, the lion asked for aduice from the weak and strong animals.The way he ruled his people made all inhabitants feel happy. No wonder, a1l

of them called him a wise leader.

Mr. Python v/as the one who was asked for an advice.

"Your honour, as a king, you have to speak loudly and cleady. In that way,your people wili not get bored of listening to your speech. You have to waikslowly but steadifi. In that v/ay, you will be elegant. To maintain the fairness, youhave to punish the wrong, give a present to the nght and help those who are staruing.

Otly with that charifl, you will be loved and respected by all of your people in thisjungle."

The lion listened to Mr. Python's advice carefully. He sought the truth inMr. Python's words. That Jyas one way he learned good values. He thanked

Mr. Python.

The next morning, the lion walked around the jungle to get fresh air andask foradvice from other animals. Fortunatelt, he met Mrs. Swan.

'TWell, sir. You have to take abath at /east t'qrice a day.In that way, your fur will beclean and shiny. Furthermore, your skin won'1 [s ipfected by viruses. Trust me. Clean-liness and lgtgiene lead us to good health."

The lion listened to Mrs. Swan's suggestion seriously. He followed her words since

she was rhe one who washed her feathers diligently every morning. Mrs.

Swan v/as a symbol of health and

beaufl in the jungle. The king

yspsry grat / to Mrs. Swan

her ualuable advice.

The night came.

All animals went to

their own houses.

They were tired of'-"""'*'Iooking for food all' day long. However,

the lion could not

sleep because of

his thinking of Mr. Python's and Mrs. Swan's words. To console limself, he went outirnd sat under abanyan tree. Suddenly, he heard a whisperingvoice.

"Good evening, Sir. Are you expecting someorre this late at night?"

,,, **"*^tstt?*6*t*" "No, I am not' I iust cannot sleep

this evening. What are you doing, Mr.

Fox?" asked the iion.

"I ^m

enlojrcg fresh air at

night. By the way, Sir. Are you

wondering something?" ques-

tioned Mr. Fox.

"Yes, Mr. Fox. I am think-

ing about wise words given

and Mrs. Swan. I think, I find truth in their words. They really are sensible,"

praised the lion."I can tell you something true," said Mr. Fox entbusiastically.

"Tell me," said Mr. Lion eagerlY.

"'Well, Sir. In my opinion, you have to protect yolr people from enemies.

For that reason, your body must be strong and healthy. Exercise your muscles,

bones, claws and canines everyday. In other words, Practise your skill and

strategy for killing enemies," sttggestedMr. Fox.

The king found another truth in Mr. Fox's words. Curiousll, the lion asked

Mr. Fox."How should I kill my enemies?"

"\7ell, sir. Ther e aretwo strategies for exercisingyour skillto kill. One is to

beatyour enemies face to face. The second strateSy, well now' this is a trichy

one. Creep up on your enemies. Then, seize them from behind and fight them

ro the death. Having killed them, eat their dead bodies."

Hearing the last paft,the lion was surprised and asked.

"\ilhy should I eattheir bodies? I am not used to eating meat."

"The reason is very simple. Look, sir. The dead bodies will be rotten in no

time. Of course, there will be air polution. So, eat them before they go rotten,"

urged Mr. Fox.

"I see, Mr. Fox. Air pollution won't be good for our health. Anyway, withwhom should I practise my skill?"

"You are able to practise your skill with big animals in this jungle, such as

elephants, horses, bulls, buffaloes and cows," explained Mr. Fox."And remember to eat their dead bodies before they make air pollution in

this jungle," added Mr. Fox.The lion king decided to follow Mr. Fox's words. The first animal he

practised his skill on was an elephant. The king used aface to face stratey.$7ith his power and strength, at last, the king defeated the elephanr. He ate the

elephant's dead body. He tasted the meat. Itwas ratber delicious.

The second animal he killed was a

buffalo. The king still used a{acetoface

stratey.Again he tasted the dead body.

It was delicious.

The third animal he killed was a

horse. Now, the king used a creeping

strategy. Vith a sudden attack, the

king successfully killed the

horse. He tasted the horse

meat. It was Yery delicious.

The inhabitants were

shocked when they saw the

change in their king's

behaviour. The king,

however, always remembered the Fox's suggestion, namely to kill and then eat thedead body.

The king's exercise became ahabtt,a bad habit. Eventhough enemies never cameto the jungle, the killing went on. The lion grew to be a powerful killer.
