The Kingdom of the Lion
THE BEASTS of the field and forest had a
Lion as their king. He was neither wrathful,
cruel, nor tyrannical, but just and gentle as a
king could be. During his reign he made a
royal proclamation for a general assembly of
all the birds and beasts, and drew up conditions
for a universal league, in which the
Wolf and the Lamb, the Panther and the Kid,
the Tiger and the Stag, the Dog and the Hare,
should live together in perfect peace and
amity. The Hare said, "Oh, how I have
longed to see this day, in which the weak
shall take their place with impunity by the
side of the strong." And after the Hare said
this, he ran for his life.
