Question
The savanna was full of unrest because the animals were fighting. Now that King Lion was retiring, who would take his place? King Lion had no children, so the next king or queen would have to be decided by the animals themselves.
In his final act as king, the lion made an announcement.
“Today the animals must decide who becomes king. We need one nominee from each animal family. These nominees will compete in a contest to decide who becomes ruler of the savanna. What kind of contest shall it be?”
The owl chimed in, “Let’s have a test of logic and knowledge.”
“No,” said the zebra, “let’s have a running race.”
“I know!” interjected the sparrow. “Whoever can fly the highest should win.”
“That’s not fair,” said the elephant. “The biggest animal should be the ruler.”
King Lion was not satisfied with any of the animals’ ideas. He decided to take a long walk to think. The lion walked for miles until he came upon the giraffe.
The giraffe is wise, thought the lion. I will ask her.
The giraffe had an idea. “Why don’t you have everyone vote? Then everyone can help decide who will be the ruler.”
“Yes!” he said. “We will vote and it will be fair! Thank you!”
Why is the setting important to the story?

It is a forest that has both large and small birds.
It is a zoo that has both a lion and a giraffe.
It is an ocean with lots of animals who can swim.

The setting is important to the story because **it is a grassland that is home to many types of animals.** This diverse environment allows for a wide range of animal characters to participate in the decision-making process for a new ruler, highlighting the need for fair representation and collaboration among the different species. The savanna setting reflects the natural habitat of these animals, emphasizing their unity and the importance of collective decision-making in the face of potential unrest.
