Fable
Once upon a time there was a community of animals living in the their lovely Savannah in West Africa. All the lions, zebras, giraffes, hippos, snakes, hyenas, bush pigs, meerkats, baboons, ants, beetles, spiders and a lot more animals big and small where all living happily with order and respecting each other. One day the Alex the lion, thought to himself “ I am the king, I should be able to order all the animals around”, so he started to threat the other animals that if they wouldn’t do what he said, he would punish them and put them to work. All the other animals like Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the hippo, Julien the lemur and the rest of the animals started to do what “King Alex” told them to do because they where afraid of him and of what he could do to this poor creatures. Each of the animals had a job and they had to comply with it due to the strict rules that Alex the King had put under his command. The animals at first thought like it was a good idea because they would be organized and that they would be protected from the groups of animals that were travelling around the savannah, due to this they all felt like a group and felt protected by each other but especially by King Alex, due to his great power. The animals continued working under his command for some time until a sudden event happened, King Alex felt untouchable and started discriminating and overworking the animals so this caused a the animals to reunite and talk about what was happening and what they should do about it. It was Melman the giraffe that took leadership and reunited all the animals, during the meeting that they had they agreed that things had to change and it was time to take King Alex of the power. Everybody started having opinions about what they had to do and how they were going to do it but all of there plans resulted in getting animals hurt and possibly not being able to beat him due to his great size and power. It was suddenly that one of the ants said, “I have an idea, why don’t we the mighty army of ants attack the lion”, everybody laughed, and told them “You are the smallest and wont be able to do anything to the might lion”. The ants responded to this “Well you will see, we will put a stop to this”. It was the next morning that the army of ants united and went to see the lion, and told him “Either you stop treating us badly or we will take you off your throne”, the lion responded “ You, the ants? HAHAHAHA, you are the smallest you won’t be able to do anything”. The ants got mad and all when on top of the lion to which he couldn’t do anything, so the ants said again, “Are you sure? Now we want you out and you have to leave”, due to the threat that the lion was in, he complied and left the next morning.
