The animals in the jungle lived in fear of the cruel lion king who demanded one animal be sent to him each day as prey. A meeting was held where the little rabbits volunteered one of their own to go. The clever rabbit tricked the lion by luring him into jumping into a well, where he drowned, seeing his own reflection. With the lion gone, the animals were freed and lived happily in the jungle.

Once upon a time, long, long ago and far, far
away, there was a beautiful jungle.

4. 4
In the jungle there lived a very
big, lazy and old lion.
The lion was not a kind and
compassionate lion.

5. 5
Being the King of the jungle, the lion
summoned all the animals and gave this
order, "Everyday, one of you must come by
yourself as my prey, otherwise I will destroy
all of you and the the whole jungle."
Oh!
What a
cruel and
terrible
lion!

6. 6
The animals had a meeting. They
were too scared of the fierce lion,
‘The King of The Jungle’ – a
ferocious beast. So all the animals
agreed to obey his order.
Oh, Poor Animals!
They believed they
had no choice.
No one knew how to
solve the problem.

7. 7
The animals planned to go one by one.
They believed they had no choice.
They were afraid the lion would kill all
and destroy the jungle if they did not
follow the order.
Poor
Animals!
They could
not think of a
way out!

8. 8
The lazy lion was happy with his
easy way of killing and eating his
prey. Days went by. Many animals
had to sacrifice their lives.
How cruel and
terrible the lion
is. How can
this be
stopped?

9. 9
The day came when it was the turn of
the rabbits.
They had a meeting to pick one to go
to the lion’s den as prey.
It’s so sad that
an innocent
rabbit has to
die.

10. 10
Unexpectedly a little rabbit
voluntarily agreed to go to
the lion's den
and be its prey.
Oh! Why must
this innocent
little rabbit
have to die?

11. 11
The little rabbit reached the
lion's den very late. The angry
lion roared at the little rabbit
and asked, "Why are you late?"
Oh, will the
angry lion
pounce on the
little rabbit and
kill him?

12. 12
The rabbit acted wisely and told the King of
the Jungle "I met another lion on the way
here. He is bigger than you. It threatened to
eat me. I ran as fast as I could to tell you
about this dangerous lion."
Oh My! Will
the angry lion
believe the
story of the
rabbit?

13. 13
The lion angrily asked the rabbit "Do
you know where he lives?". The
rabbit replied, “Yes.” He then asked
the lion to follow him.
I think the
clever little
rabbit has a
plan to trick the
old angry lion.

14. The rabbit reached an old well
and said to the lion, The King
of The Jungle, "That lion lives
in this well."
14
Will the lion fall
for the little
rabbit’s trick?
What will he
do?

15. 15
The foolish lion peeped into
the well and mistook his own
reflection as another lion and
he roared loudly.
Oh Please!
Lion, Jump in
and attack the
other ‘Lion’!

16. 16
Hearing the echo of his own roar, the
lion got very angry. He jumped into the
well to attack the other ‘lion’. The old
angry lion drowned in the well.
Pride, Ego, Anger and
Foolishness cause the
end of the old Lion,
The King of the
Jungle.

17. 17
The End The End
That was the end of the lion and all
animals lived happily in the jungle.

If your mind
is more calm
and steady,
you can
think better.
Pride, Ego,
Anger, Self-
Centredness,
Heedlessness
and Cruelty will
bring about a
downfall.
Intelligence
and Wisdom
are great
qualities to
help one solve
problems.
Having
Loving-
kindness and
compassion
for all beings
is very
important.
Dhamma Teaching
One who practices the
Dhamma well will be
more happy, peaceful
and he will have more
protection.
