The Donkey And The Wild Cock

Long ago a wild donkey and a wild cock lived in a forest. They were great friends. They used to meet and chat with each other very frequently.
Once when they were talking together, a lion passed by. Seeing the lion, cock flew up to the top of a tree and began to crow loudly. For he knew that the lion disliked the sound greatly, and wanted to annoy him. Highly irritated, the lion ran off.
The donkey was wonder- struck .he said to himself that if the lion ran away on hearing the crowning of a cock , he himself could kick the lion to death. So he ran after the lion, determined to kick him to death. Hearing a sound, the lion turned round, and saw the donkey rushing towards him. When foolish donkey was near enough, the lion jumped on him and finished him often a jiffy.
