Who Is King of the Forest?

When Tiger jumped on Fox, cried out, How
dare you attack the King of the Jungle!
Tiger looked at him in amazement,
"Nonsense! You are not King!"
"Certainly I am," replied Fox, "All
the animals run from me in terror! If you
want, come with me." Fox went into the
forest with Tiger at his heels. When they
came to a herd of deer, the deer saw Tiger
behind Fox and ran in all directions.
They came to a group of monkeys.
The monkeys saw Tiger behind Fox and
they fled. Fox turned to Tiger and said, "Do
you need more proof than that? See how the
animals flee at the very sight me?!"
"I'm surprised, but I've seen it with
my own eyes. Forgive me for attacking you,
Great King." Tiger bowed low and with
great ceremony he let Fox go.
