He was rolling in his mother’s lap when she told him that he is the future king of the animal world; the jungle is his kingdom. He felt proud when he came to know that he would rule every animal in his kingdom.
“Every animal, big or small, strong or weak, will respect and obey you as a king.”
“Even elephants?” he asked with surprise struck eyes.
“Yes, even elephants and rhinoceros, all of them. Every animal living in the jungle”, his mother told him.
The young cub got up, put his nose through the cage bars and staring at the zoo walls, asked in wonderment, “Mom! What’s a jungle?”
(Based on a joke.)
