Once upon a time, there lived a proud lion in the jungle. He hated other animals and made fun of them. An elephant also lived in the same jungle. The lion laughed at the elephant and called him clumsy. One day, the lion called all the animals in his den for a meeting. The animals assembled in the lion’s den out of fear. However, the elephant did not come, because the lion had called him clumsy. He did not fear the lion. Suddenly, a landslide sealed up the den when the animals were inside. So, a bee flew out through a tiny gap between the rocks to seek the help of the elephant. The elephant moved the rocks. The animals were saved. The lion was sorry for his past behaviour. He said, “I have learnt my lesson. From now on, I will never make fun of anyone.”
