Have you ever faced a powerful but arrogant person? How
do you handle that kind of situation? READ the story of the lion and the
beetle.
“I am the might king of the jungle!” thought Lion. “I will have
a parade and wear my crown. All the animals will bow when I pass near them.”
As he marched, he saw Beetle. “Beetle, bow to me!” he commanded.
Tiny Beetle did not fear Lion. “I am bowing!” Beetle said. “You
must bend down to see.”
When Lion bent down, his heavy crown made him fall into some
mud. The muddy king wished he could hide. He was not so might now. He could
only rush back to his den.
