Once upon a time there was a lion and a lioness in a dense forest.
They gave birth to two cubs in due course of time. The lion asked the lioness
to stay at home and take care of the cubs. One day the lion could not hunt any
animal but found a little fox on the way home.
He took it home as a gift for the lioness. The lioness brought the
fox kid with the same love as her own cubs. The three young animals grew and
played together. One day the children saw an elephant. The lion cubs wanted to
fight the elephant. But the fox kid was frightened and asked them to run away.
So they ran away and went to the mother lioness.
The lion cubs told the story to her. She laughed at the fox kid. At
this the fox kid was offended and in a rage challenged the lioness as to why
she called him a coward. The lioness replied, "What's wrong with eating an
elephant? You feel like that only because you're not a lion kid. You are the
child of a fox. Your breed never eats elephants. If you cannot be bold please
leave us and go live with your tribe." The fox kid did not want to live
there any longer and left for the forest.
