blocks and discussed the issue..

about his candidature

strong and will look
after everyone.
• He is also a friend of
man and can protect
them from him.

5. • Bear said “ no friend of man can be a friend of
animals.
• Then he proposed his candidature..
• Then crow opposed the bear and called
himself the right one to be the king.
• Listening to all this conversation, LION roared
and put himself forward by showing his anger.

6. • He said am I dead?? No
one can be king but I
• He asked others to
show the support by
raising the paws or tails
• Listening to all
these, few said we want
to be heard.
• Cow, dog , cat pig and
goat and hen appeared

7. • Dog said you don’t realize that your biggest
enemy is man.
• There was a combined deafening roar from
the jungle animals , and the poor cow and
goat retreated several steps. But the dog
stood straight
• I want a competition ; the dog said….

8. They both had a competition
lion dog

9. The judge of the competition, the owl

10. • All the competitions were won by the lion.

must both hunt the same quarry and let the
best animal win.”

• Lion was already tired and dog ran fast and
true.

cooked meat to raw meat.
• The lion king reigned supreme and spent his
time terrorizing the animals.
• All animals were very upset with the lion.
• Time passed and the lion grew old.
• One day he was chased by a shikari.

12. • He was caught by the shikari . And was tired
and thirsty. He called his bearers . He was in
great pain.
• No one appeared. None helped him.
• His pain grew .he felt that he would die and
lay in stupor.
• Suddenly he saw hyenas and jackals were
looking at him and waiting to see the death of
lion.

13. • He was getting more and more thirsty and
asked for water but none helped him out.
• He was weak as kitten now..
• Suddenly a farmer passed near by with his pet
dog.
• The dog listened to lion and rushed towards
him

14. • The dog carried a bag of water and his thirst
gulps..
• Lion finished the water and revived like a
flower.
• He thanked the dog..

15. Lines by the dog
• You were strong in every competition, and the
jungle animals supported you.. But today
when you are old and wounded and dying , no
one came to help you.
• Being king requires not only strength and a
loud voice; you need compassion and love
too. You must be friend to weak and lonely.
You never know when they can help..
