 The Lion and the Cows

Once upon a time, in a jungle

lived four cows. The cows
were very close friends who
always stood by each other in
good and bad times.
Whenever a wild animal tried to
attack them, all four cows used
to fight together and chase them
away. Therefore, no animal in
the dense jungle dared to attack
the four cows.
But, there also lived a big lion in that
jungle who wished to kill and eat the
four cows. He tried several times to
attack and kill them, but as always, all
four cows chased him away. The lion
understood that it was not possible for
him to kill even one cow till they were
united.
So, the lion started thinking of
different ways to separate them.
Finally, he came up with a
devious plan. He started
spreading rumours and telling
false tales in the jungle about
the cows.
With the help of other animals in
the jungle, the lion was soon able to
pitch the cows against one another.
A huge rift was created between the
four cows, and they started
detesting each other. The lion was
happy to see his plan working.
After some days, the lion attacked
one of the four cows. The other
three cows did not come to help
their former friend, even after
watching that she was being
attacked by the big lion
After a few a days, the lion
killed another cow. And then,
the two cows that were left
also had to face the same fate
and were killed by the lion.
Second reading is done
