Reading Notes: The Lion in Bad Company

The story of a lion and wolf.  When you have a bad friend than that will put you in trouble?

The lion who suddenly came in front of wolf and wolf said “Oh great lion.”  The lion got over excited that some wolf calls him great but he did not consider what his father told.  His father told him to stay away from wolf and do not bring him to his den.  He did exact opposite to what his father told him and he thought that this wolf is different but in reality the wolf was no different from other wolf.  The lion brings him to his den but the father of lion confronts the him and said you should not keep the wolf in our den.  The lion thought he knew better than his father and let the wolf stayed in his den.

The wolf wanted to eat horse meat and he made lion to go on hunt ponies of horses.  He told where they were and what they were doing there but the lion did not even think why he knew so much.  So they both went to go hunting and lion bring pony with him after killing them and the wolf was happy but not the father of lion.  The lion’s father confronts him again and said he should not go kill ponies of horses because they belong to King and the lion who eat ponies do not live long.  He did not listen to his father again and keep killing ponies and the King who was trying to save his ponies tried all of the method and nothing work.  Than one day he hires archer to kill lion who kill his ponies.  The lion and wolf came to get pony but wolf didn’t jump the wall but lion did and he kill pony and archery shot him with arrow.  After that the wolf ran away and lion died.  That’s what he got for not listening to his father.
