The earthquake, the lion and the dear

Dr. A. H. Al- Nuaimi

Chairman of the Board

Once earth balance was disturbed and it was like it’s dancing. then the animals of the forest I realized that it’s an earthquake, they started to flee and escape their dens and houses. and despite the panic that infected the animals. but they were not all lost, where the earthquake caused the survival of a herd of deer that was going to be hunted by some lions after a long chase.

This new situation has caused the lions to lose twice, the first one was the loss of their prey, and the second one was the humiliation when they found themselves frightened, in the sight of those who used to cause them to panic, as the humiliation doubled when a deer jumped over the lion and hit the lion’s forehead with his foot, and this insult could have been less humiliating if it wasn’t in front of the lion’s wife the lioness.

As the quake began suddenly, it has stopped suddenly, which confused the lions, they did not know whether they should stand or continue to escape, while the deer herd has realized that the quietness of the earth does not mean the danger has passed; so they continued running toward the unknown.

the lions were still revolving around itself when the after shake of the earthquakes came. which seemed equal to its inception, so the animals of the forest were departed again which they were in complete amazement.

and from one hundred meters of distance the lion saw the lioness flee into a cave with a wide entrance, and although he didn’t like the idea. he ran towards the cave and lie down next to her, and two of them were Breathing as they were dogs.

The both of them did not notice that the earthquake has stopped only after it felt a little quiet around them, so they continued to catch their breaths and they were trying to convince themselves that the land revolution is not eternal, while the stunning surprise was when they discovered that there were two dogs – a male and female- hiding close to them in the bottom of the same cave.

the lions looked at the two dogs with a condescending look, then moved his sight bath to the lioness. and whispered in her ear: It seems that in this day the insults is beyond the description .. Is it possible that we hide with two dogs in one place?

Lioness whispered in has ears? Do we know our enemy and we failed to confront it?
the lion said in a low voice: ” do you believe that a small and delicious deer jumped from above me and kicked me with his foot?
the lioness replied with even a lower voice? It is true that insults in this day are many, but we did not fall back from facing the enemy, and in this there is a consolation to us.

On the opposite side from the bottom of the cave, the dog was whispering in the ear of his female partner, we have lived until we saw the humiliation and refraction in the lions eyes.
the female Whispered in the ear of the male: ” but the lions remains lions and the dogs remain dogs “.

the Dog said as if he did not hear what she said : How I wish if the earthquake returns so we see the panic of the lions again.

In the meantime the lioness whispered to her husband: “we have to leave in their eyes there is scorn for us, and they are whispering on us.”

The female dog said to her husband ” I do not have to leave there is no guarantee for us that they won’t hurt us if they regained there power and better.”
the lion said to the lioness: let’s go.
the dog said to his female: let’s go.

The animals came out at the same time… the dog prays :long.. live the earthquake. and the lion says to himself: the dog will not forget that I hid in the same cave with him.

the lion and the lioness could have forgotten the humiliations that happened on that day,, but as they were leaving the cave they witness the deer who hit the lion forehead.

the deer did not hold any respect for the lion. as he didn’t look scared, however the lion and the lioness decided to prosecute that deer. The earthquake did not intervene at this time. but soon they felt tired without being able to nail him … It was the first time that the lion has discovered that nailing a bold deer doesn’t happen by only the desire for revenge.
