Lion and His Fear - Moral Story

There was a lion who feared nothing except the crowing of cocks. Whenever he heard a cock crowing, a chill would go down his spine. 

One day he confessed about this fear to his elephant friend. The elephant was amused to hear about the Lion's fear. “How can the crowing of a cock hurt you?” he asked the lion an a teasing tone. 

   

Just then a mosquito began circling the elephant’s head, frightening him out of his wits. “If it gets into my ear I’m doomed!” he shrieked, flailing at the insect with his trunk. 

Now it was the lion’s turn to feel amused to see a gigantic elephant getting frightened by a small mosquito.
