The story of the lion whth ravens
Fiction stories
In the heart of the forest, a majestic lion named Leo set out on his daily walk to inspect his kingdom. As he strolled along the winding path, the warm sun on his back and the gentle rustle of leaves beneath his paws, he felt proud to be the ruler of this enchanted land.
As he approached a sparkling stream, he noticed two ravens engaged in a fierce battle over a piece of fish. Leo watched with interest, wondering what the commotion was about. One of the ravens, with shiny black feathers, looked up and saw the lion.
“Your Majesty!” the raven exclaimed. “We’re having a dispute over this fish. This raven here says it’s his, but I claim I saw it first!”
Short stories
The lion said, “Why don’t I just split the fish between you two?” But the first raven replied, “No way! I’m the one who spotted the fish first, so it’s only fair that I get to keep it!”
The other raven, with a hint of wisdom, chimed in, “No, no, Your Majesty! We can’t object to your opinion. This is your kingdom, and we’re just guests. We must respect your wisdom.”
Leo was impressed by the second raven’s words. “Well said, my fine feathered friend,” he replied. “Wisdom is knowing when to speak and when to listen. I’ll let you two settle this dispute among yourselves.”
The ravens bowed their heads in gratitude, and Leo continued his walk.
The story of the lion whth pigs
Literary fiction
The lion approached the edge of the forest, he came across a pool of mud where two pigs were rolling around, oinking and snorting.
“What’s all the commotion about?” Leo asked, trying to intervene.
One of the pigs, with a mischievous glint in his eye, looked up and sneered, “Mind your own business, lion! This doesn’t concern you.”
Leo’s wife, the lioness, who was walking beside him, whispered, “Dear, perhaps it’s best to leave them alone. They seem to be enjoying their mud bath.”
But Leo, feeling his authority challenged, decided to discipline the pigs. “I am the king of this forest, and I won’t tolerate such disrespect!” he thundered.
Short fiction
The pigs, however, only laughed and teased him, saying, “You’re just a big cat! What do you know about being a king?”
The animals of the forest, drawn by the commotion, gathered around to watch the spectacle. In the chaos, Leo got covered in mud, and soon, no one could tell him apart from the pigs.
The lion, realizing his mistake, slunk away, his head hung low in shame. The pigs, still oinking and snorting, laughed at him, and the other animals kept their distance, unsure what to make of the muddy lion.

As Leo trudged back to his den, feeling sorry for himself, he passed by the stream where the ravens were still perched.
One of them called out, “Wash, sir, here in the stream.”
Leo looked at himself, covered in mud, and nodded. He waded into the stream, feeling the cool water wash away the dirt and grime. As he emerged, clean and refreshed, he felt a sense of gratitude towards the ravens.
Fiction stories
The next day, Leo gathered all the animals of the forest and shared his lesson. “I learned yesterday that arguing with ignorant and foolish creatures is a waste of time. It exhausts the soul and wastes time. We must choose our battles wisely and not engage with those who refuse to listen.”
The animals nodded in agreement, and from that day on, Leo ruled his kingdom with even greater wisdom and compassion.

“Remember, kids, some people might think being bossy and rude is brave, but it’s actually just being mean. Don’t bother arguing with them – it’s not worth your time.”
