The fox and lion cubs

Once upon a time there was a lion and a lioness in a dense forest.
The couple gave birth to two cubs in due course of time.The lion asked the
lioness to stay at home and take care of the cubs.

One day the lion could not hunt any animal but found a little fox on the way home.
He took it home as a gift for the lioness.The lioness brought the fox kid with the same
love as her own cubs.The three young animals grew and played together.
One day the children saw an elephant.The lion cubs wanted to fight the elephant.
But the fox kid was frightened and asked them to run away.So they ran away and went
to the mother lioness.

The lion cubs told the story to her.She laughed ant the fox kid and called him coward.
At this the fox kid was offended and in a rage challenged ther lioness as to why she
called it a coward.The lioness replied,"What's wrong with eating an elephant"
You feel like that only because you're not a lion kid.You are the child of a fox.
If you cannot be bold please leave us and go with your tribe."
The fox kid did not want to live there any longer and left for the forest.

A coward will always remains a coward even with a company of brave.
