The Story of the Leopard and the Lion

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful animal kingdom in the middle of a forest. But this kingdom was not like the rest. Here a leopard ruled the jungle as the king. It was kind-hearted and courageous and loved the other animals very much. The animals in the kingdom lived happily and contentedly.


The king leopard had hired a wise fox as the kingdom's minister. The king leopard always sought the fox’s opinion before finalising any decision. Being intelligent and wise, the fox always assisted the king with advice.


One day, the leopard saw a lion cub lying near bushes. Seeing that lion cub, the leopard felt very sad. So it wanted to raise it as its own. But the leopard had not done anything without taking its minister’s advice.


When the king asked the fox what to do, the fox replied, “raising a lion cub is not a very intelligent decision, your Majesty. Now, we are happy and satisfied. But one day, it will grow and claim to be more powerful than you. I urge you to think about this decision again, your Majesty.”


But the king told the fox, “I have seen the cub almost dead in the forest. It has nowhere to go.” The fox heard this and told the king that it was happy to see the king’s kind heart, but the fox also suggested the king stay alert. The king ordered the kingdom's soldiers to carry the lion cub to the palace.


Many years passed after that. The lion cub grew up and became a powerful young lion. Soon, the lion realised it was the most powerful animal in the kingdom. So, it did not take much time for the lion to demand supremacy. The lion started to destroy the kingdom to show its supremacy.


When the leopard heard about the lion’s behaviour, it was shocked at first. But the fox suggested trying to be friends with the leopard. The fox said, “Your majesty, if you try to befriend the lion, it will not harm you or your kingdom.” But the leopard refused to do that as it was very angry to see the behaviour of the lion. Instead, the king decided to kill the lion.


One day, the lion demanded to become the king of the animal kingdom. It said, “I am a powerful animal, and that is why I want the throne.” The leopard refused to give the lion the throne. The fox told the leopard to give the lion a part of its kingdom. “It will stop destroying the kingdom and become content with the part of the kingdom you will give it.” The fox told the leopard. But the leopard was so angry with the lion that it refused to give it even a small part of the kingdom and asked the lion to leave the place as soon as possible.


One day, the lion came with a group of powerful lions and destroyed the kingdom and, in the end, it declared itself as the kingdom's king.
