The new king
Stephen Kungaba
Salim Kasamba

One day, the animals gathered for a meeting to elect their new king.

1

"Let's do a contest to choose our new king," said Leopard.

2

Elephant suggested that, "Whoever throws the spear the farthest, wins."

Everyone agreed.

3

"I'll go first," said Elephant.

Using all his might, he threw the spear into the air.

4

Next came Baboon.

5

"I'll go next," said Warthog.

6

Deer was the last to throw the spear.

She threw it so far away that it took the animals four days to find the spear.

7

And that was how Deer became the new king.
