There was once a lion who was king of the forest. He was big and strong and very fierce. All the other animals in the forest called him king. They bought gifts from every corner of the forest.
But the more the lion had, the more he wanted. 'A king must have a court', he said to himself one day.
He called a fox to his side. "You are known to be a wise and clever creature, fox," said
the lion. "I want you to be my adviser." "Thank you, Your Majesty," said the fox,bowing low.
The lion next called a leopard to his side. "You are known to be watchful and swift of foot, leopard. I want you to be my bodyguard." "Thank you, Your Majesty," said the leopard, bowing low.
The lion then called a vulture, to his side. "You are a bird, vulture, and can fly high. You are to be my messenger." "Thank you, Your Majesty," said the vulture, bowing low.
The fox, the vulture and the leopard took an oath of loyalty to the king. The king promised to give them food and protection.
For some time all went well in the court of the lion king. The three courtiers never opposed the king. His wishes were law. Whenever he roared, they stood in awe. Whenever he took a walk, they followed him. When the lion king went hunting, they found the animals for him to kill. And after he had his meal, he left the remains for them. So they always had enough to eat.
