"Oh, sure," said the tigress as she went to look after her young.
The tiger walked through the jungle till he came to the lion's den "Come out," he roared, "and greet the King of beasts! The King is dead, long live the King!"
Inside the den, the lioness woke her hue-band.
"The King is here to ace you," she said.
"What King?" he asked, sleepily.
"The King of beasts," she said.
"I am the King of beaato," roared Leo, and ran out of the den to defend the crown.
It was a terrible fight and it lasted until the setting of the sun. All the animals of the jungle joined in, some taking the side of the tiger and others the side of the lion. Some animals did not know whic.i they were fighting for, and some fought for both, and some fought whoever was nearest, and some fought for the sake of fighting.
"What are you fighting for?" someone asked one of the animals.
"The old order," he said.
"What are you dying for?" someone asked another animal.
"The new order," he said.
When the moon rose, all the beasts were dead except the tiger, and his days were numbered.
