The Lion Fable

This story follows a lion who is shy and afraid to act for fear of looking foolish. While the lion watches quietly, several other animals step up to lead without hesitation—and make things progressively worse. Each time, the lion quietly tells his mouse friend how he would have done things, and each idea sounds like it would have been a much better and more logical solution. Finally, the mouse points out that the most foolish animals in the kingdom have stepped up to lead without hesitation and suggests that the biggest fool of them all is the lion, who has the best ideas but is too timid to lead. The lion takes the mouse’s words to heart and steps up to rule.

In both stories, the culture views its rulers as important figures who should be respected and obeyed. In "The Lion Fable," the lion is initially hesitant to lead due to fear of looking foolish, but ultimately realizes that his ideas are valuable and steps up to rule. This shows that the lion is recognized as the rightful leader by the mouse and takes on the responsibility of ruling the kingdom. In "The Animal Council," the animals on the council initially doubt their king's leadership and make a mess of things when given the chance to lead. This highlights the importance of having a strong and capable ruler, as the council quickly realizes their mistakes and seek to bring the king back to his throne. Overall, both stories demonstrate the view that rulers should be competent and respected in order to effectively lead their subjects.
