Bheeman , the python was very happy.
He had come to live in a new forest ,
and had found a big hole in a banyan
tree to live in. The banyan tree was near
a pond.
Many small animals lived in this place ,
frogs , fishes , birds and lizards. Bheeman ate
them every day , and grew fat.
' I am the king of this jungle ,' thought
Bheeman proudly. ' Everybody should bow
before me. ' Whenever he crawled
around , all the small creatures hid
themselves. Bheeman felt immensely strong and
powerful.
One day , Bheeman thought of
changing his home. He selected a bigger tree ,
which he felt was a more suitable
home for a king. Under this tree
Meenu , the queen ant , lived with her
fellow ants.
Bheeman asked the ants to vacate the
premises at once.
Meenu refused to leave , since the tree
had been the ants' home for many
years. Bheeman was very angry.
He wanted to teach the ants a lesson.
He attacked them with his tail
Meenu immediately asked her army
of ants to march ahead.
The ants bit every inch of Bheeman's body
Bheeman started howling in pain.
He accepted defeat and begged the ants
for forgiveness.
Bheeman had understood that even tiny
creatures had their own strengths ,
and had to be respected.
