ONCE upon a time there lived four cows in forest. Everyday they used to graze together in a particular spot. They were all friends. One day a lion saw the cow grazing together.

The lion wanted to eat them, so he went to catch them. When the cows saw the lion all of them fought with him. The lion ran away.

A few day passed and the cow quarreled between themselves and grazed separately, one by one the lion killed all of them.
