There was a hunter who went on a hunt. He began to run home when he saw a portion of the forest burning aggressively. In running home he saw a small vulnerable lion (cub) perhaps hastily left by its mother when fleeing from the fire. The hunter took it home to his sheep's pen.
The lion cub grew up, played and fed with the flock. The hunter usually open the flock to go and feed in a nearby bush. Sometimes a pup wolf will charge and intimidate the flock including the lion. Then they will usually run back home.
One day they went to feed on fresh grass.
As usual the lion growing healthier and strong , joined them. They dined on the best of grass and in ecstasy, they went far into the bush. Soon they heard a strange howling noise. The flock scattered and many began running for their lives. The lion frightened too much didn't know where to run to and stood still.
Soon a pup wolf approached the lion face to face. The lion had no choice but to fight back. It started to make a noise which it never knew it could. The roaring (noise) was so loud and frightened that the pup wolf took to its heels. Now the hunter has became the hunted. The lion chased it. From that day the lion didn't continue to stay with the flock. It went deep into the bush and was surprised that when the other animals see it, they flee!
Moral Lessons
Just like the lion which thought it self like a sheep, some of us are also the same. Limiting our potentials because of; where we were born or raised, our negative mind set, negative people around our lives etc. Am reminding you to awaken the lion in you. You are actually a lion, born great with the potential to overcome your adversities. Don't let your current struggles push you down and let people look down on you.
The struggles of today, may perhaps be a turning point to move to greatness (where you belong, just like the lion in the story). Yes you may be a lion among the flock, but it's time to wake up and move on.
