Once upon a time long long ago, there was a large jungle that was 500meters wide and 1000meters long.
There were large trees and tiny plants. There were climbers and creepers that climbed the bigger trees.
One day mummy lioness was in her den with her 3 cubs - Mambo, Jumbo and Gambo. The three cute cubs
were drinking milk as everyday. Mummy lioness had 18 litres of milk everyday and the three cubs shared
together just right. All the cubs had same amount of milk. Now as mummy lioness was feeding her babies,
there started a huge storm and rain with dark grouchy clouds covering the sky. Suddenly there was a big
lightning and the three cubs closed their eyes in fright. When they opened their eyes, there were 6 hyenas
in front of the den. The hyenas wanted to stay inside the den. The mummy lioness allowed the guest but
was afraid a bit.
After sometime, the cubs and lioness were feeling sleepy and the hyenas were planning - "let us eat the
baby cubs - we like to eat their legs - we will be good and we will share their legs equally" ... However, the
mummy lioness woke up at the noise of their talking and heard everything. Afraid as she was, she woke up
her kids and told the whole story. Then Mambo said - "Mommy, dont worry we will stay awake with you. We
will take turns - there are 9 hours in the night and first turn is mine". Jumbo said, "I will take the next turn"
and Gambo said, "ok mummy, last turn is mine".
Very soon, the Jumbo and Gambo went to sleep and Mambo stayed up with Mommy.
