The story about the cowardly Lion. There was once a Lion that was so lazy, he would spend his days just idling around. While the Lionesses went hunting and did everything around the den. The Lion would be waiting for them to come back home with the food. This Lion was also a big coward; he was always scared of all the other animals in the forest. He never wanted to interact with them at all. The Lionesses hated this, they could not stand the Lion’s laziness and the fact that he was a coward made it even worse. They did not trust him to protect the den or the children they left behind as they went hunting.
One day, the Lionesses decided to teach the Lion a lesson. On this day, they hired some bulls that they had met as they were hunting to come to the den and scare the Lion. The bulls came into the den and started mocking and teasing the Lion but the cowardly Lion did nothing. Instead it ran away to a hiding spot that he had always prepared for days such as this.
The bulls then pretended to attack the children in the den and when the Lion saw them going for the children, his instinct quickly set in that he ran to where the bulls were and he roared so hard that it scared the bulls out of their skin making them run away so fast.
From that day, the Lion became brave and protective. Animals were scared of him and his roar that with time, he earned his name as the King of the Jungle.
The Lionesses trick had worked.
Moral: Sometimes, one needs a kick to learn
