The Lion and the Ancient Sands

In a vast desert, there lived an old lion named Kito. He was the leader of his pride, and his mane was gray with age. The other lions respected him because he had guided them through many storms. But one young lion, named Taji, thought Kito was too slow and old.

Taji often complained, saying, "We need a new leader who can run faster and hunt better." He did not listen to Kito's advice about the dangerous machines that came from the sky. One day, the machines returned and started to drain all the water from the oasis. The pride panicked, but Kito remembered a hidden spring that he had seen long ago.
