Question
The Lion Fable
This story follows a lion who is shy and afraid to act
for fear of looking foolish. While the lion watches
quietly, several other animals step up to lead without
hesitation—and make things progressively worse.
Each time, the lion quietly tells his mouse friend how
he would have done things, and each idea sounds
like it would have been a much better and more
logical solution. Finally, the mouse points out that
the most foolish animals in the kingdom have
stepped up to lead without hesitation and suggests
that the biggest fool of them all is the lion, who has
the best ideas but is too timid to lead. The lion takes
the mouse’s words to heart and steps up to rule.
The Animal Council
This story is about a group of animals who serve on
King Lion’s council. They gather frequently when
their king is not around to complain about his rules
and way of doing things. They echo one another’s
concerns, and all agree that the king is their greatest
problem. Hearing of their doubt, the king decides to
teach the animals a lesson. He disappears for two
weeks. During this time, the animal council is given
the chance to lead. They make several messes, and
by the end of the two weeks, the mouse alerts the
king that his council is desperate to find and return
him to his throne. When he returns, he tells the
animals not to question his leadership if they cannot
do better themselves.
