There was a king who loved his only son very much. The king was willing to do anything for his lovely son.
One day, the king had a dream. The dream warned the king that his son would be killed by a lion. When the king woke up, he was very worried. ¡°Oh, No! I cannot live without my lovely son. He is my only hope.¡±
The king decided to build a palace to protect his son. He had other men draw all kinds of life-sized wild animals including lions.
When the young prince saw the pictures of lions, he said, ¡°I hate lions. And I am sure I can destroy them. Now I will never let you go!¡± The prince cut a stick from the branches of a thorn tree.
Unfortunately, thorns on the stick poked the prince¡¯s finger and caused a great pain.
The young prince could not bear the pain and he suddenly fell down having a fit.
Later, the young prince died from severe inflammation.
We had better bear our troubles bravely than try to escape them.
