There was a Jungle with lots of animal staying inside and
many migrating from different other places in search of food
and becoming a part of the jungle. Since many years the jungle was
declared as a democratic place and mainly ruled by the two
families of Lions and Tigers based on the support from the other animals.
The wolves were the main followers of these two families and depend
on the sides they choose to be, the respective families gets the crown of the
jungle. Since last ten years it was the lions ruling the jungle.
Over the years the ruling families got out of touch with
the other animals of the jungle and relied on the wolves in running the day to
day administrations. The wolves started behaving as lions/tigers of the jungle
and started taking advantage of the power endowed on them in harassing the poor
animals. Slowly the jungles started getting difficult for the animals to
live. There were taxes imposes on them on many basic needs like food water etc.
Sensing the uncertainty and instability of the situation, many animals started
complaining against the same but the message was not getting reached to the king.
The system has got so corrupted that the animals started living with their
faith in the hands of the wolves.
It was the time the tenure of the lions was about to get
over and again the election has to take place. While the lions started making
the wolves happy and supporting those in all their activities, the tigers waiting
for the crown since many years, took the opportunity to reach to other animals
and asking for their support.
Bambi, the leader of the Deer families, who was fighting
with the system since a long time, had realized that, there is no difference
between the lions and the tigers. He called a meeting of all animals and
started telling everyone that at the end of the day, the wolves are going to
run the shows and hence he suggested for a tough bargaining with the lions for
a sustainable system for a better life of all the animals of the jungle. Or
else we change the ruler.
“But to whom to trust? To whom to vote for? Why don’t you contest
the election” the rabbit suggested and all other animals supported.
“Election? No… how can we fight against the lions and
tigers” A member of the Deer family screamed. “It is not a simple game to play.
Can we survive in this jungle if we dare to do so?”
“Anyway we are struggling to survive now. We should fight
and take a chance to change the system” Bambi told to all.
Getting this news about the new happenings in jungle the
lions and tigers started laughing and also invited the Deers to contest the
election.
On the day of the election, it was an unbelievable scenario
since there was fifty percent increase is number of voters. Those who never
came for any voting turned up this time to suppot the Deers in a hope for
change in system. As a result the Deers got the second position to tigers in
the election and the lions were almost out of scene. It was chance for the
tigers to rule the jungle but realizing that many of the animals of the jungle
are supporting the Deers, it will be difficult to rule the jungle as done in
past. Similarly the lions also got surprised with the result and were very uncomfortable
in this scenario and they were feeling insecure the coming years. The wolves
were hiding behind and waiting for a direction from lions/tigers while all
other animals in the jungle were celebrating the victory of the Deers.
Behind the scene the lions met the tigers in a undercover meeting
and expressed their feelings. The tigers too agree with the lions since the
future for both of them seems to be a difficult to survive. They framed an
undisclosed strategy to deal with the situation.
In a meeting of all the animals the tigers expressed their unwillingness
to rule and ask the Deers to rule for their good cause. The lions supported the
Deers and asked them to rule and change the system. It was a tough time for the
Deers since the Deers are one of the simple families of the jungle and ruling
the jungle needs more of muscle power than emotions. The existing corrupt
systems also run by mainly the wolves, who are the supporter of lions/tigers
and partner to them. Bambi already realized the difference between winning and ruling
the jungle. Infront of all animals he put some conditions for the tigers and
lions before taking the crown. The tigers rejected all stating, the ruller has
to take its own decision and the lions expressed their eagerness to the
conditions but simultaneously stated that incase they found the Deers are not
able to rule they will withdraw support. It was a very difficult position for the Deers
also all other animals wanted everything should get settled soon before anyone outside
take advantage of this in the jungle.
If Bambi take back his position, he will lose the trust of
all the animals and his dreams of changing the system will never gets fulfill and
also it will be difficult for the Deers to survive in the jungle after that.
What should Bambi do now? Even if he takes the position of ruler,
will he be able to change the system? Can the Deers ever be able to rule the
jungle? If yes then till how many days?
