One day, the King of the forest called
for a meeting. He was preparing to go for war. He wanted to give each
animal a responsibility.
To the Elephant, he said, “Elephant,
you should carry all the weapons of war on your back and fight with great
strength.”
Then, the Lion told the Bear, “Be
prepared to rush in while the war is on, we may need you if the enemy is
pushing us over.”
He said to the Fox, “Your task is to
fix all the secret plots.” Then, he called the Monkey and said, “Take care that
the enemies should be amused by your tricks.”
While all the animals waited their
turn, one of them said, “What use are the Ass and the Hare? They are too
cowardly to fight. Send them home.”
“No,” said the King, “everyone has a
part to play. Without their help we would be incomplete.”
Then the King said, “The Ass shall be
our trumpeter, to scare our enemy. And then the lively Hare will carry home the
report of our victory.”
In this way, the wise King got all the
animals involved and ready for battle.
Everyone is gifted with a talent
different from another.
