Little STORY Between The LION and the SERVANT
*The Lion and the Servant*
There was once a young servant named Kofi who worked in the king’s palace at the edge of a great forest. He was kind, but he was also terrified of one thing: the old lion who lived in the royal gardens.
The lion wasn’t caged. Years ago the king had saved it as a cub, and now it roamed free, guarding the palace gates at night. Everyone feared it. Everyone except Kofi.
One dry season, water became scarce. The king ordered all servants to fetch water from the deep well in the forest. It was dangerous, and no one wanted to go at dusk.
Kofi volunteered.
On his third trip, his bucket slipped and he fell into a thorn bush, cutting his leg badly. He couldn’t move. As night fell, he heard footsteps. Heavy. Slow.
The lion.
Kofi closed his eyes, sure this was the end. But instead of claws, he felt a warm breath. The lion nudged his bucket toward him, then lay down beside him like a giant, breathing guard. All night it stayed, keeping away jackals and hyenas.
At dawn, the other servants found them. Kofi on the lion’s back, the lion walking him gently back to the palace.
From that day, the king changed the rule. No one went to the forest alone. And the lion? He chose Kofi. Whenever Kofi walked the gardens, the lion would walk beside him. Not as master and beast. As two who had been kind when no one else was.
The other servants asked Kofi, “Aren’t you scared?”
He just smiled and said, “He remembered me first.”
