Once upon a time, deep in a forest that was so full of trees you could play the best-ever game of hide and seek, lived a bowman. Yep, a guy who could shoot arrows like he was born doing it. All the animals were really, really scared of him and his pointy arrows. As soon as they saw him, they'd dash away like someone yelled, "Last one there is a rotten egg!"

But here comes Lion, the king of the forest, strutting his stuff like he's the coolest cat around. "Don't worry," he tells all the animals. "I'll talk to Mr. Pointy Arrows over there and make him go away. Trust me; I've got this."

Not long after, "Zap! Zoom!" An arrow flies super-fast through the air and—Ouchies!—hits Lion right in his side. Lion falls down, making a noise like he's just eaten something super yucky.

That's when Fox comes out, trotting over like he knows a big secret. He looks at Lion and asks, "So, how'd that chat go, Mr. King of the Forest? Think Mr. Pointy Arrows got the message?"

Lion, looking sadder than a kid who dropped his ice cream, says, "Okay, okay, you win, Fox. I thought I could scare him away, but boy, was I wrong."

And that was that. Even if you're the biggest and the strongest, like Lion, you can't just think you're the best at everything. Because sometimes, someone else might just be a little bit better, like the bowman with his amazing arrows. It's like thinking you can win a race without even running; life has a funny way of tripping you up!

Deep within the woods so vast,
Lived a bowman from the past.
With arrows swift and aim so true,
No creature could escape his view.

Creatures fled, both big and small,
The bowman's aim frightened them all.
But the mighty lion, proud and grand,
Stood up to protect the land.

"I'll face him," he roared with might,
"To keep our forest free from fright."
But an arrow swift, through the breeze,
Struck the lion, making him freeze.

By his side, the sly fox came,
With questions, not to place blame.
"Did you think," the fox did ask,
"That facing him was an easy task?"

The lion sighed, pain in his eye,
"I was wrong," he gave a cry.
"I thought I was strong, above the rest,
But now I see, he's simply the best."

All the creatures then understood,
Strength isn't just in the wood.
For pride can sometimes make us fall,
Humbleness is the best trait of all.
