Once upon a time, in the heart of the animal kingdom, the Lion, who was the king of the forest, passed away. The other animals gathered to choose a new leader, and among them was a mischievous Ape known for his playful antics.
The Ape wanted to be the new king, so he entertained the assembly with funny faces, somersaults, and tricks. The animals found his antics amusing, and the Ape was chosen as their new king. They placed a crown upon his head, and the Ape felt very proud.
However, not everyone was happy about the Ape becoming the king. The sly Fox, who was envious of the Ape’s new title, decided to play a little trick. He approached the Ape with a cunning smile and said, “Your majesty, I’ve discovered a treasure in your kingdom. If you come with me, I’ll show you where it is.”
Excited about the idea of finding a treasure, the Ape followed the Fox. They reached a spot where a tasty piece of meat lay near a strange contraption—a trap! The Fox pointed to the meat and said, “Here is the treasure, your majesty.”
Without thinking, the Ape eagerly reached for the meat, and SNAP! The trap closed on his fingers. Ouch! The Ape was caught, and it hurt a lot. He felt embarrassed and angry.
The Ape turned to the Fox and accused him of being a false friend and a traitor. The Fox, instead of feeling sorry, burst into laughter. He said, “You wanted to be a king, but you didn’t understand a simple trap!”
And with a mischievous grin, the Fox walked away, leaving the Ape to learn a valuable lesson about being cautious and not letting pride blind him to the tricks of others.
And so, in the heart of the animal kingdom, the animals learned that true leaders should be wise and not fall for every trick that comes their way. The end.
