The Lion and the Law of the Jungle is a story derived from the different behaviors of wild animals living in the bush. In this story, the hare tries to trick the lion by sending commands to the lion through the cubs to weave the fiber clothes. Then when the lion tried to find out the wild animal that was sending commands through its cubs, the hare tricked an innocent jackal to die in place of the hare. Then at last, the lion becomes a dictator by forcing all the large wild animals to swear oath to it, except the elephant and other smaller animals, which were on the other side of the forest.

Enter the journey of a young black belt martial artist as he learns the lessons passed down by those who traveled before him. Walk with him as he discovers one must not only find his gift, but one must learn to keep his gift. As you take this journey, you too may unlock the wisdoms of those who traveled before you and discover your own true gift. Author's Note: This book came about because I saw a great need to help parents, guardians, teachers, and other martial arts teachers teach children how to set goals, make good decisions, find their purpose, tell them the truth about bullying, and more. These lessons needed to be in a fun adventure of discovery so the children would want to read this journey, learn, ask questions, and discover. Enjoy the journey!

Mr. Lion has spent a good part of his life moving from jungle to jungle. Hes just looking for a place where he can be left alone. Hes sad because everyone laughs at him and makes fun of him because his tail is so long. In fact, Mr. Lions tail is longer than the giraffes neck, the elephants trunk, and the rhinoceross horn, and its even longer than the snakes whole body. In this jungle, though, the animals dont laugh; its rude to laugh at someone who is different. They admire Mr. Lions tail, and several of the animals try to make friends with the lion. But he just wants to be left alone. One day, tragedy strikes in the jungle. The animals call upon Mr. Lion to help them rescue a monkey who is in trouble after trying to cross a flooded river. The lion realizes he has a special talent, and his tail, though very long, is an important part of who he is.
