Fine Words Are Not Equal To Fine Deeds
Once a very good lion was king of all the animals in the fields and the forests.
He was not angry or cruel or unfair, but only kind and gentle.
During his reign he made a royal proclamation to all the animals.
He laid out rules for a Universal League of animals.
In this League, the wolf would not harm the lamb, nor would the panther harm the kid.
The tiger would not hurt the deer, and the dog would not hurt the hare.
Everyone should live in perfect peace and friendship.
When the hare saw this proclamation, he said, "Oh how I have waited for this day.
How wonderful it is that the weak will stand alongside the strong without fear."
After he said this, the hare ran away for her life.
