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.
