A prolonged drought dried up the water bodies in the forest.

Life became difficult for all the animals.

1

Lion, who was the ruler of the animals, asked everyone to find a solution. "Search for the magic broom," he ordered.

He believed it would bring them food and water.

2

Clever Hare was lucky!

He found the magic broom and took it to Lion.

3

Lion commanded, "Magic broom, bring us food!"

Immediately, food appeared in abundance for all the animals.

4

One night, Greedy Tortoise sneaked into Lion's palace and stole the magic broom.

He hid it under a tree and used it only for himself.

5

Without the magic broom, the forest faced a terrible famine again.

Many animals grew weak from hunger.

6

Curious Spider followed Greedy Tortoise and discovered his secret.

When Greedy Tortoise noticed Curious Spider, he panicked. He ordered the broom to fly away.

7

The magic broom disappeared, and Greedy Tortoise vanished with it!

He was never seen by his family again.
