One a hot day, under the shadow of a big tree, a lion is sleeping. 

He scares everyone and he is famous for his strength and his courage, but also for his arrogance.

 While he is waiting for his lunch, a leopard arrives.

 He looks at the lion and says: "Hey! You are under my tree!". 

The lion looks at him with an air of superiority and he says: "I'm the King, every tree, every marsh, every animal belongs to me! Nothing scares me, I am the strongest!" The leopard looks at him with an air of defiance and says:" Oh right! If you are so strong and brave, tomorrow I will return with five friends" and saying these words he goes away.

 The next day the leopard and the lion meet again under the same tree.

 The leopard looks at the lion and says:" You still have time to apologize and go away!" but the lion answers: "I don't need to say sorry, I don't need anyone, I will kill you and your friends."

Hearing these words, the leopards attack the lion. 

After the match, two gazelles comment: "He trusted too much in his strength and now he is dead!" You always need to believe in yourself but you mustn't become arrogant and refuse other people's help. Arrogance, like every bad feeling, never lead to anything good.
