Once there was a lion who could not roar at all. He was unable to roar since birth. There was no one who could teach him or tell him that lions always roared. So, he learnt to talk softly with everyone. Once, the lion was very annoyed with a pig. He wanted to roar at the pig, but was unable to do so. The lion then invented a roaring machine. One day, the lion saw the same pig again. The lion thought of using his roaring machine. His roaring machine sent out a truly terrifying roar. “GRRRROAUUURRR!!!” All the animals in the forest got scared and none dared to go near him. The lion became lonely and sad. He decided not to use that machine again. Slowly, using the kind and cordial tone of his voice, the lion managed to restore the animals’ trust in him. He realised that one could convey any message by speaking softly too, and that there was no need to roar.
