- One thing was on the mind of the tiger that he is also very strong, intelligent. Able to manage Jungal Raj. So why can't he become a king himself?

- Singh said, "When the enemy attacks, you should face it hand in hand instead of hiding here, only then you can win the battle."

Girnar forest of Gujarat. This is the story of the Gir forest, which is famous as the lion's abode. The forest is home to many species of animals, large and small. The king of this forest is Singh, his name is Sujan Singh. Sujan Singh was strict by nature, but kind-hearted and loving.

An administrative meeting was held in the forest today. Dipdi and Harni cleaned the hall. The wolf and the bear made a bed for the congregation to sit on. The tigers and bears were given the task of preparing food for all the animals. The elephant filled the pots with drinking water and arranged it.

At exactly ten o'clock, the king of the forest, Sujansinh, arrived, all the animals stood up and greeted him, then Sujansinh ordered everyone to sit down. All were arranged in their respective places. The forest minister leopard stood up and presented information on today's proceedings. King Sujansinh stood up and said, "My dear relatives and friends, the area of ​​our forest has now increased a lot. The population has also increased. We have to form a cabinet so that all the administration in the forest runs smoothly. We are going to appoint ministers for Home, Finance, Health, Foreign and other departments. We will have officials and advisers to help these ministers. So as to facilitate the administration of the forest. A meeting will be held on the 10th of every month to find out how each department works and how much progress has been made and what the complaints of the people are.

Sujan Singh's words were greeted by all the animals. After lengthy deliberations, the tiger was assigned to the home department, the panther to the conservation department, the giraffe to the finance department, the wolf to the agriculture department, and the deer to the foreign ministry. Advisors and officers were also appointed at the same time. With this politics of Sujan Singh, all the animals became happy and started praising the king. But one thing was on the mind of the tiger and that was the respect that Sinharaj gets. One thing was on the mind of the tiger that he himself is very strong, intelligent. Able to manage Jungal Raj. So why can't he become a king himself?

Vaghe devised a plan in mind. He lured the raw-eared wolf and the greedy fox together. The tiger promised to make the fox a minister and the wolf a treasurer. The tiger gave some other animals power, position and wealth and included them in his plan.

The meeting was reconvened today after the division of the administrative account. Sujan Singh sought information on the work of all the departments. The ministers of each department stood up and started giving all the details to Sujan Singh. Wherever there was a need, Sujan Singh went on to give some useful suggestions. Also listened to the questions of the forest people. The king and the courtiers were happy to know that satisfactory work was being done.

So in one corner the tiger and the other animals started rumbling. The attention of all the congregation was drawn to it. The lion stood up and asked the tiger, "What happened? No crisis .... '' Before the tiger could answer, the wolf stood up and said, '' Namdar, elections have not been held in the forest for a long time ... Besides, you have been in charge of the administration for a long time but now we want a new king. Retire and relax ... and ... and make the tiger king ... "

Hearing the wolf's proposal, the whole assembly fell silent. Everyone was shocked by the demand to remove an excellent, clever and loving king like Sujan Singh.

Sujan Singh got the whole thing done. He understood the tiger's intention. He stood up and said, "In our democracy, everyone is allowed to have their say. When the time comes, if the tiger proves his worthiness, I will accept retirement myself and hand over the throne to him in peace. ”All the members of the congregation accepted the lion's word with a heavy heart and dispersed.

Time went by. Once Sinharaj was sitting with the minister and checking all the accounts. All the animals in the forest were busy with their work. The tiger was roaring loudly and his companions were proving the tiger's words. The fox, the wolf and four other animals were flattering the tiger.

So from a little distance a loud noise was heard, all the animals looked at it, saw an elephant roaring, coming towards them with other animals. The tiger and his companions also looked at him, "Hey, it looks like an elephant from the nearby forest is coming towards us with an army ..." said the wolf. Upon hearing this, the small animals fled in panic, screaming. The tiger immediately grabbed the fox and the wolf's hand. Then the fox said, "Our future king, now is the time to prove yourself. Get ready."

"I am ready .. I am ready ... I will mash this elephant in an instant. You don't know my strength ... '' said the tiger. Before the tiger could finish speaking, the elephant went mad and rushed towards him. The tiger, the fox and the wolf began to step back, a little panic spread. The cubs of small animals said, "Waghdada ... Vaghdada ... go and kill that elephant. We are scared ... '' The tiger picked up the cubs and ran towards the bod. The wolf, fox and other animals also ran after the tiger with the cubs. All went to bed with the tiger. Seeing everyone, the tiger said, "I have come here to save the chicks ... the rest ... I am not afraid of anything. I want to save you all. Sit in all the boats, I will close the door of the boat. '' After saying this, Vaghe closed the door.

On the other hand, when the lion found out that elephants and other animals had come out of the nearby forest, he immediately ran out of accounts with the minister. Seeing the roaring elephant coming from the front, the lion became angry, and jumped on the elephant with a big leap, and began to wound the elephant's neck with its long teeth. Due to the pain, the elephant started barking so the animals that came with it were scared and ran away. The elephant fell alone. Singh stepped up his attack. Blood began to flow from the wound on the elephant's body. The lion jumped on my elephant's head. Fighting broke out between the two, the elephant unfortunately escaped from the lion's clutches wounded.

The enemies have fled. Knowing this, all the animals hidden here came out. Singh embraced them all and instilled in them the confidence to live life. "When the enemy attacks, you have to fight hand in hand instead of hiding here, only then can you win the battle," Singh told them. If the enemy attacks at any time, then all of you should cultivate courage and unity from now on. "

A few moments later the tiger also arrived there with fellow animals, its head and eyes bowed. The fox and the wolf also bowed. When the lion turned his hand on his head, the three fell at the lion's feet. Seeing this, the rabbit said, "Jai ho ... jai ho." All the animals roared in the forest with the sound of cheers. Readers, now you must have understood who is the king of the jungle? ... The people who consider themselves as their children and strive for happiness are the ones who hold the throne of the people's heart.
