| My
fable is: Once there was a
lion and a tiger. The lion was heroic, humble, and a leader. His name
was Leo.
But the tiger, who was mean, selfish,
and JEALOUS of Leo, was named Nero.
When Leo's father died, Leo ruled all
animals in Africa. All animals respected Leo because he was king and
he took his
responsibilities, as a king, seriously.
But tigers never
had much respect for Leo and never
liked him. "Why is it always a lion that's King of the Beasts?" said
Nero in jealousy. "Well," said his brother Felix,
"they have looks, strength, and power."
Then Nero said,
"Well I'll prove tigers are the best.
I'm tired of being the lower level." That's
when Nero decided to challenge Leo to see who would
be King of the Beasts.
"LEO!",
yelled Nero, "I challenge you to a fight! Winner is King of the Beasts,
FOREVER, and the loser gets nothing!"
"Are you sure?" said Leo,
"You should never underestimate the power a lion can hold within it."
"Yes, I'm sure!", Nero replied.
As soon as the fight began Nero
started to claw at Leo with all his speed and might. Leo kept dodging
without trying! Only a few times did Nero hit
Leo but it didn't do much damage. Up until... "AAAARGGGHHHH!" Nero was
the one being injured at Leo's attacks.
Nero nearly died until he gave in. Leo
won. "What happened?", Nero whined,
"How could I have LOST?!" Then Leo
said, "I told you to never underestimate the
power of a lion. I hope you learned a valuable
lesson today, one you will remember for a long time, one that you will...
"OK! I get it! Now stop the boring speech and help me home",
Nero interrupted. "Fine", Leo said. |
