Then he saw a lion, when he wanted to shoot the arrow, he saw lions and ask himself
If animals can have leg like humans.

So he called all the animals and told them that they will get legs, they were to go to the kings palace
and get legs , one by one they all went in the palace.

2

They all got legs and were so happy. To repay the king they dance for him.

But they saw one animal that did not get legs it was the snake. It came to the king and asked for legs but it was all finished.He wept bitterly.Thats why snakes have no legs to date.
