Once upon a time there was a great lion in the forest who always took a morning walk. Out on his path one day he came upon a huge chest, which he pried open with his teeth. He looked inside the chest and found gold. He was not quite sure what to do with it but, being proud, he knew he couldn’t ask for help, so he left it there and hurried on his way, not wanting others to realize that their king was so weak.

A few hours later an ant happened to come upon the chest. He, too, saw the gold. But he knew it was far too heavy a load for him, so he hurried home and asked a large army of his fellow ants to help. With their help, the ant carried the chest of gold home where they were able to buy enough picnic food to last a few winters or more.

Moral: If you find yourself with a heavy load, ask friends to help carry it.
