The Lion and the snake

Once upon a time in a big and green Savanna there was a brave but arrogant lion called Samuel. This lion was the King of the Savanna  and all the subjects were afraid of him. Samuel never said please or thank you, and he did not have friends. Nobody dared to challenge him because if they lose they would  be banished. But one day, when Samuel was resting, a misterious snake challenged him. If the lion won he would be banished but if the snake won, he would be the king. The lion acepted carefreely and he continued resting.

The arrogant lion, Samuel, was standing behind a tree. He was thinking the way he could make front and fight with the snake without causing him a suffering death. He knew that he will win the bet but he didn’t want his Kingdom furious and embrassed of their magnificous king, himself. From the other side, the Kingdom will like to know that they had a strong and powerful King who would protect them from all kinds of danger. During his reflection, he did not even see that an owl  was near him and was watching him with caution. When Samuel realiced it, seriously, the owl Albus, warned the king:

-My Majesty, beware of the snake´s cunning. He knows exactly your arrogant thoughts, and he will take advantage of it. Use your wisdom, knowledge and power correctly. Take advantage about your power of lion and king of this wild kingdom. I send you my luck, majesty.   

The fight day arrived, they started to fight, first, the snake hit the lion's feet and the lion hit the floor.Then, he roar and the snake flew for some seconds, when the lion touched the snake for first time, he paralized for an hour and the snake celebrated,  he thought it was done. But when the lion woke up he said that he only wanted to be his friend. Although, when the snake was going to give him a hug he fall again because his skin was poisonous.  The king  did not accept his lost feud and battle, but, unfortunately for him, a bet was a bet, and he had given the snake his promise.

When the lion loses he became the snake's clown in his kingdom to make them laugh. They were always fighting, until the snake got really angry . She put a sword in the lion's neck and told him that if he stills bodering her, she will insert the sword in his heart. The lion accepted and  went to his room, where he hit a photo of the snake with a stick. Then, the snake came and told him that he was sorry about what have happened and that he was going to be promoted. The lion was very happy but they still hate each other.

Some hours after, the lion cried a lot because he didn't win to a small animal like the snake and now he was his personal clown. He told everyone that the snake cheated but anyone believed him. He was very disappointed of losing but furious with the snake, so he looked for it and when he found it. He shouted him:

-¡That was unfair! You are poisonous and you didn't tell it to me, you must give me back my throne.

- I will not give you back your place, because I told it to you, but you didn't listen me

- That's a lie, you didn't advice me, you don't  disserved to be the king. You are very small and innocent.

- I make remember to you that with only a touch of you, you will paralyze of my poison I may be small but I am very clever and strong

After telling this, the lion ran away and nobody knew were he went. Days passed and all the Savanna rest in peace.

Moral: do not judge people before knowing them well.
