Once upon a time....a terrible scourge swept through a huge
forest, full of animals. It was the plague. One after the other,
all
the animals, big and small strong and week, died of the
dreadful disease. None could hope to escape such a horrible
fate, not even the lion himself, king of the forest. Indeed
it was
the lion who gathered together the survivors, and said in a
trembling voice: This disaster is a punishment for our wicked
ways. And I for one will admit I've been wicked. If you find
me
guilty, I'll gladly give up my life if you think that would
help you
in making amends for your own sins. So I confess that ,
during
my lifetime, I've eaten many an innocent sheep.''
''But, Sire, broke in one of the animals, surely you don't
think that eating sheep is a serious sin. We too......we
too...''
And they all began to tell their own stories.
