The lion was proud of his position as "king of the jung=
le". One day he decided to be SURE that all the other animals kn=
ew that HE was the king. He started with a monkey. "Who is the king of=
the jungle?" and the monkey chattered, "You are! You are! You ar=
e!"
The lion let out a mighty roar of approval.
Next was a tiger, to w=
hom he asked the same question. The tiger bowed down and said, "=
Everyone knows that you are, oh mighty lion!"
As the lion strutted a=
way, he saw an old bull elephant. "Who is the king of the jungle?"=
; he demanded of the elephant. The elephant immediately grabbed the l=
ion with his trunk, whirled him around in the air ten times and slammed him=
into a tree. Then he pounded him into the ground with his feet, gored him =
with his ivory tusks, and finally threw him in the watering hole.
The lion =
– bruised, battered and beaten – struggled to his feet. "Look", h=
e told the elephant, "just because you don’t know the answer is no rea=
son to get upset."
