In the jungle there was a huge baboon with a large group of baboons that followed him.

This baboon was a dictator!

However, there were several huge baboons in the troop.

The followers often got confused and did not know who to follow.

One day, the other baboons spoke to the dictator and said, "We need to be sure that you are the one giving us orders.

"All right," said the dictator. "I'll wear a piece of cloth around my head. You must make sure that you always follow my instructions exactly."

They all agreed.

A big baboon tied a head band round the dictator's head.

He said, "From today, whatever I tell you to do you must do. I don't want any disobedience."

When the dictator jumped the others jumped, when he sat down the others sat down.

When he screamed, the others would scream.

As time went by the head band became tighter and tighter.

One day the dictator sat down and said, "This head band is hurting me."

And he put his head in his hands.

All the baboons sat down, and they put their heads in their hands.

They said, "This head band is hurting me."

The dictator yelled, "No, I'm serious!" And the followers said, "No, I'm serious."

The dictator cried, "This thing's killing me!" And they all said, "This thing's killing me."

The dictator clutched his head and fell down. They all imitated him and fell down.

Then he began struggling, and they began struggling. He fell over over the cliff!

Although the rest of the baboon troop survived, the tyrant died from his injuries.
