The Lion and the Boar: A Thirsty Tussle
Large text for little eyes.
One hot afternoon in the savannah, the animals were searching for water. The river was almost dry, and only a tiny pool of water remained. Just as the animals sighed with relief, two big figures appeared, Leo the lion and Bruno the boar.
“I was here first!” growled Leo, flexing his mane.
“No, I was here first!” snorted Bruno, stomping his hooves.
The other animals gasped. This was not going to end quietly.
The Silly Standoff
The lion and the boar circled the pool, glaring at each other.
“I’m the king of beasts! I deserve this water,” roared Leo.
“I’ve got tusks sharper than carrots! I deserve it too,” Bruno snapped.
The animals tried to calm them down, but Leo puffed out his chest, and Bruno snorted even louder. Soon, they were rolling in the dust, wrestling and roaring.
“Stop, you two!” cried the parrot. But neither listened.
A Dangerous Discovery
Just as the fight got louder, a shadow passed overhead. Then another. High in the sky, vultures circled, watching with greedy eyes.
“Look at that!” squeaked the meerkat. “Those vultures think Leo and Bruno are about to eat each other, and then they’ll swoop down for the leftovers!”
Leo and Bruno froze mid-fight. They peeked up at the vultures, licking their beaks. Suddenly, the water didn’t seem like the biggest problem anymore.
Friends, Not Foes
Leo and Bruno looked at each other and burst out laughing.
“What are we doing, fighting like this?” Bruno asked.
“Exactly,” said Leo. “We’ll both end up dinner if we don’t stop!”
The two mighty animals agreed to share the water. They slurped and splashed, while the vultures groaned and flapped away, disappointed.
From that day on, whenever Leo and Bruno met at the waterhole, they winked at each other and said, “Better to drink together than fight forever!”
The End !
