The Lion raised his eyebrow and took a long yawn and went back to sleep. The Donkey however brayed again ‘ Look at this Lion, he is so afraid of me that he cant even come out of his Den, I will finish him with one kick’. Now, all animals thought that the Donkey is dead for sure! But the Lion did not even move his tail. After a few uneasy moments, the Donkey stumbled from here to there and went on his way. Now, a young Bear summoned courage to come up to the Lion and asked him ‘O king of the Jungle, why did you not react to the abuses of that Donkey? He was nothing before you..’.
