Once upon a time, in a big grassy savannah, a strong Bull was walking through the forest. As he walked, he accidentally stepped on a tiny lion cub, hurting it badly.
The lion cub’s mother, a fierce Lioness, found out what had happened. She was very sad and very angry. Her loud cries filled the air, and a Hunter, who was nearby, heard her.
The Lioness roared at the Bull, blaming him for hurting her cub. She said that what he did was terrible and that the life of her cub was very important.
The Hunter, who had seen the Lioness hunt and eat other animals' babies many times, decided to speak up.
The Hunter said to the Lioness, "You are very sad because you lost your cub, but I remember how you have hunted and eaten the young ones of other animals many times before. Don't you think this is just the way nature works?"
The Lioness thought about what the Hunter said. She realized that he was right. She understood that she was part of the circle of life, and sometimes, what goes around, comes around.
