The King Of The Beasts

“I am the king of the beasts,” proclaimed the lion, “for all do fear me.” “No,” replied the elephant, "I am the king because I can crush anything in my path.”

Just then they heard laughter. Looking around, they found the source. It was a little tortoise, who still chuckling looked up at them.

“I am the true king,” he said. “You both scare everyone away. But I scare no one and so I’m welcome everywhere.”

“To be a king is to be a leader,” he continued. “And I amuse everyone. As I do I can persuade them to do what I would like them to do.”

“This is what leadership is,” he added. “Not size, not a roar, not intimidation. It is having others happily do as you guide them to do and that starts with a smile.”
