The Kingdom Of The Lion
Aesop Fable: The Kingdom Of The Lion
The beasts of the field and forest had a lion as their king.
He was neither wrathful, cruel, nor tyrannical, but just and
gentle as a king could be. During his reign he made a royal
proclamation for a general assembly of all the birds and
beasts, and drew up conditions for a universal league, in
which the wolf and the lamb, the panther and the kid, the
tiger and the stag, the dog and the hare, should live together
in perfect peace and amity.
The hare said, "oh, how
I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take
their place with impunity by the side of the strong." and
after the hare said this, he ran for his life.
