The king of the jungle was once a little cat. The lion, who was once so coward, discovered he could roar in the most unusual way. As the Native American groups were gathering for the evening feast in the village, the mighty lion swarmed the jungle. The people had just sat down to begin their evening meal, when a loud noise came from the west side of the jungle. The king of the jungle was accompanied by the queen, who already had her roar. They were the best of friends and got along very well until one day the queen started to make fun of the king lion. Every day the queen lion made fun of the king lion, saying he is not a true king because he did not have a roar. This made the lion become very angry.The lion wanted to prove to the queen lion that he was strong and he was a leader. So one day, the king lion took the queen lion over by the edge of the cliff. He wasn't going to hurt her. He just wanted to let her know he was the king lion and she had less power. The queen became very nervous. At this point rain had started to fall. The Native American people came running quickly to see where the noise was coming from. When they got there they were terrified of what they saw next. The queen lion knocked the king lion to the ground and accidentally hit his throat trying to get away. The king lion was very mad and quickly sprang back to his feet. He opened his mouth and a huge roar came out. The king and queen were very shocked. The lion received his roar because the rain moistened his throat. When his throat became moistened and when the queen hit his throat on accident, the block that was lodged in his throat became loose, allowing him to find his roar!
