Roars and Screeches

An old fable tells the story of a young lion and a cougar. Both were thirsty. One hot afternoon, they
happened to arrive at the local watering hole at the same time. They immediately began to argue about who
should satisfy his thirst first.

The argumentation became heated and each decided he should be the first to quench his thirst.
TITLE _______________________________________
Rulership of the territory was at stake! Pride was an issue. As they stubbornly confronted each other, their
emotions turned to rage. Their roars and screeches could be heard for miles as they moved closer and
closer to battle.

Then they both noticed strange shadows skirting across the ground. Both looked up at the same
time, circling overhead was a flock of vultures, waiting for the loser to fall. Quitetly, the two beasts turned and
walked away. The thought of being devoured was all they needed to end up their quarrel.

Item 1 -4

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Once upon a time there lived a lion in a forest. One day after a heavy meal. It was sleeping
under a tree. After a while, there came a mouse and it started to play on the lion. Suddenly the
lion got up with anger and looked for those who disturbed its nice sleep. Then it saw a small
mouse standing trembling with fear. The lion jumped on it and started to kill it. The mouse
requested the lion to forgive it. The lion felt pity and left it. The mouse ran away.

On another day, the lion was caught in a net by a hunter. The mouse came there and cut the
net. Thus it escaped. There after, the mouse and the lion became friends. They lived happily in
the forest afterwards.
