HOW THE LAW WORKS... FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE LION 

(This is part of a series of POLITICALLY CORRECT stories for little
children, who otherwise may not be ready to live in the Jungle.)

One day the King of the Jungle, tired of being called a "Tyrant,"
gathered the most cunning animals in the kingdom, chief among them the
Foxes... He said to them: "It's mighty unjust that I am not recognized
for what I am. You know full well that the best of my leftovers, if
any, go to the Little Animals... Well, I want you to write LAWS, so
from now on it'll be them, and not me, who would rule over this God
chosen kingdom..."

After a few months of hard deliberations (and a few "private parties"
and "business trips") the Foxes (now turned politicians) returned with
a long, long book of laws written in a language so hard to understand
to the Little Animals that they thought it was old Greek. After
translation, it started like this: "The animals with a mane will be
treated like kings; the animals with paws and teeth will be above the
Laws; and the animals who will represent the interests of the Little
Animals, us, will be granted a raise in benefits and status... Of
course, ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION will be considered ILLEGAL, and
will result in the Lion eating the Little Animal..."
