The Lion's Royal Order

Why did the animals bring their problems to the Lion?

Why did the Lion write a Royal Order?

• The Lion wanted the best for each and every animal.

Why did the Lion call all the creatures together to hear the Royal Order?

• The Lion wanted to show off his power.

• The Lion wanted to punish the strongest of the creatures.

• The Lion wanted every creature to hear the new rules.

What was the purpose of the Lion’s Royal Order?

• Natural enemies would live together in peace.

• Natural enemies would live in different places of the forest.

• Natural enemies would have to settle their own differences.

The Rabbit said, "Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place without fear, by the side of the strong." And after the Rabbit said this, he ran for his life.
