Once upon a time, the Lion could fly. His wings were like the wings of Brother
Bat, but they were very big, and very
thick, and very strong, So he made a
big wind with them when he flew into
the air. When he was high above the
earth, he looked down for something to
kill. So this is how he hunted in old times,
There was only one thing he was
afraid of, and that was the bones of the
animals he caught and ate, which could
be broken to pieces. No one knew why,
and everyone was frightened of the Fly-
ing Lion. He kept the bones in his house
and two White Crows guarded them.
But one day while the Flying Lion was
away, Brother Big Bullfrog came and
said: "Why do you sit here all day, you
Whitehead Crows?"
