Read:
It would not be possible to find a forest as serene as that on the entire planet. There reigned Leo, an old, peaceful lion who was no longer interested in wandering and just wanted to be left alone.
The worst was when a hunter came to disturb the peace of his domain. What could he do, already so weakened and toothless? A serious problem that only his mouse counselor could help to resolve successfully.
“Your Majesty, I've been thinking about how to chase away this troublesome hunter, and the solution is very simple. Leave it to me! said the court adviser.
Without saying anything else, the mouse went to the nearest village and bought a microphone and two speakers. When he returned to court, he installed these devices in front of King Leo, telling him:
“Your Majesty, roar with as much force as possible now and worry about nothing else.
Leo followed her advice and emitted a roar so powerful that it reached the hunter's ears a hundredfold. The poor man, terrified, dropped his shotgun and broke into a run. The forest has returned to its traditional peace and tranquility.
