The Lion and The Wolf

Once upon a time, there was a wolf and a lion who lived in

a forest. One evening, the wolf emerged from his den in

good spirits and with a ravenous appetite. The wolf

appeared much larger than he actually was as the sinking

sun projected his shadow far out on the ground.

“Look at how huge I am,” the wolf boasted, “Imagine me

escaping from the weak lion! I should be made the king of

the forest. I am a hundred times more powerful than the

lion in his own shadow.”

The wolf took satisfaction in the fact that he was no lower

than the mighty lion. While the wolf was lost in his

thoughts, he was suddenly completely obscured by a huge

shadow in front of him. The lion instantly killed the wolf

with a single strike.

In the midst of the wolf’s arrogant thoughts, the lion

attacked and killed him. The wolf was too lost in his own

inflated self-worth, which ultimately led to his demise.
