The Talking Cave

A long time ago, there used to live a Big Lion in a dense forest. He was a very fierce lion famous in the jungle for his brutality. All the animals were scared of him in the jungle. The animals used to shiver at his name. The animals always lived in his terror. He used to hunt everyday on the animals of the jungle and fill up his own stomach. The lion killed everyone from young to old animals.

But one day the lion  roamed the entire jungle, but he couldn't find a single prey. After wandering around for the entire day the lion was extremely hungry and tired. At that time he saw a small cave. The lion thought why not wait inside the cave for its owner to return and whenever he/she come inside I will hunt them down right there and suffice my hunger. After thinking this the lion rushed inside the cave and waited for the cave owner to return. The lion waited for a long time for the owner to return.

The cave belonged to a jackal who had went out during afternoon. When the jackal was returning at night, he saw that there were footprints of the lion outside his cave. After seeing the footprints the Jackal was alert. When he focused on the footprints he noticed that the footprints were going inside the cave, but never were no traces of them coming out. Now he was assured that the lion was inside the cave waiting for him.

But for the confirmation of it the jackal thought of a way. The jackal shouted from the outside of the cave, "Hey cave! What happened?, Today you didn't call me. Everyday you call me, but today you are really quiet. Just what happened?

The lion inside thought," It could be possible that the cave always calls this jackal, but today because of me maybe its not calling him. No problem today I will call this jackal." After thinking this the lion shouted loudly, "Come my sweet friend jackal. Come inside"

After hearing the voice the jackal knew that lion was inside waiting for him and to save his life the jackal ran away. The lion waited for a long time for the jackal to come inside but it was all in vain since he noticed that the jackal has already ran away.

The lion was really angry at this and he ran out to find the jackal thinking he couldn't have gone too far. As he was chasing after the jackal, the lion ran into a human settlement. This resulted in the lion being hunted by humans and getting himself killed.

After this the animals in the forest lived peacefully.
