The story tells of a Lion who loved his departed friend deeply and decided to honour him with an energetic funeral dance. But in the process of displaying his grief and strength, the Lion wildly stretched out his dangerous claws while moving aggressively through the funeral grounds. Every animal present understood the danger. One careless touch from the Lion’s claws could mean injury or death. Fear quietly replaced mourning. One by one, the mourners abandoned the funeral grounds. Even those who were on their way heard about the Lion’s conduct and wisely turned back. By sunset, the Lion was left alone with the corpse of his dear friend. There was no one left to help carry the body to its final resting place.
