A lion lived with his family in a jungle. Papa lion was very worried. His cub was growing big but still he had not learnt to roar. A lion without a roar! He asked a jackal to teach his cub how to roar. The jackal started teaching the cub. “Say, Oooo!Oooo!” said the jackal to the baby lion. When Papa lion heard his cub saying “Oooo! Oooo”, he was very angry. He roared to call the jackal. The jackal fled away to save his life. Then Papa lion appointed the elephant to teach the lion cub. But he too failed to teach him how to roar. He was also chased out of the jungle. One day all the animals gathered on the bank of the river in honour of the king of the jungle. They were singing and dancing. Suddenly they heard “BANG! BANG!” “Run! Hunters!” screamed the other animals and ran as fast as they could. The baby lion was also very terrified. He ran towards the Papa lion and let out a sudden roar. Papa lion smiled at his cub. His joy knew no bounds. He knew his cub learnt how roar.
