The Tiger Who Would Be King

 One morning the tiger woke up in the jungle and told his mate that he was king of beasts.

"Leo, the lion, is king of beasts," she said.
"We need a change," said the tiger. "The creatures are crying for a change."
The tigress listened but she could hear no crying, except that of her cubs.

"I'll be king of beasts by the time the moon rises," said the tiger. "It will be a yellow moon with black stripes, in my honour."
"Oh sure," said the tigress as she went to look after her young, one of whom, a male, very like his father, had got an imaginary thorn in his paw.
The tiger prowled through the jungle till he came to the lion's den. "Come out," he roared," and greet the king of beasts! The king is dead, long live the king!"
Inside the den, the lioness woke her mate. "The king is here to see you," she said.
"What king?" he inquired, sleepily.
"The king of beasts," she said.
"I am the king of beasts," roared Leo and he charged out of the den to defend his crown against the pretender.
It was a terrible fight and it lasted until the setting of the sun. All the animals of the jungle joined in, some taking the side of the tiger and others the side of the lion. Every creature from the aardvark to the zebra took part in the struggle to overthrow the lion or to repulse the tiger, and some did not knot know which they were fighting for, and some fought for both, and some fought whoever was nearest and some fought for the sake of fighting.
"What are we fighting for?" someone asked the aardvark.
"The old order," said the aardvark.
"What are we dying for?" someone asked the zebra.
"The new order," said the zebra.
When the moon rose, fevered and gibbous, it shone upon a jungle in which nothing stirred except a macaw and a cockatoo, screaming in horror. All the beasts were dead except the tiger, and his days were numbered and his time was ticking away. He was monarch of all he surveyed, but it didn't seem to mean anything.

Terjemahan:

Suatu pagi harimau terbangun di hutan dan mengatakan kepada temannya bahwa ia adalah raja binatang .

" Leo , singa , adalah raja dari binatang , " katanya .

" Kita butuh perubahan , " kata harimau . " Makhluk-makhluk menangis untuk perubahan . "

Harimau betina mendengarkan tapi ia bisa mendengar ada tangisan , kecuali anak-anaknya .

"Aku akan menjadi raja binatang menjelang bulan itu muncul , " kata harimau . " Itu akan menjadi bulan kuning dengan belang-belang hitam , untuk menghormati saya. "

" Oh, tentu , " kata si harimau betina saat ia pergi untuk merawat anaknya, salah satu diantaranya laki-laki , sangat mirip ayahnya , telah mendapat duri imajiner di cakarnya .

Harimau berkeliaran melalui hutan sampai ia datang ke gua singa . " Ayo keluar , " dia meraung , " dan menyapa raja hutan ! Raja itu mati sepanjang hidupnya ! "

Di dalam gua , singa betina membangunkan pasangannya . " Raja di sini untuk menemuimu , " katanya .

" Raja apa ? " tanyanya , mengantuk .

" Raja hutan , " katanya .

" Aku adalah raja hutan , " teriak Leo dan ia dikenakan keluar dari sarangnya untuk membela mahkotanya melawan penuntutnya .

Ini adalah pertengkaran hebat dan itu berlangsung sampai terbenamnya matahari . Semua binatang hutan bergabung , beberapa berpihak harimau dan lain-lain di sisi singa . Setiap makhluk dari aardvark ke zebra mengambil bagian dalam perjuangan untuk menggulingkan singa atau untuk menahan harimau , dan beberapa tidak tahu yang mana yang berkelahi, dan beberapa berjuang untuk keduanya, dan beberapa berjuang siapa pun yang dekat dan beberapa berkelahi demi kepentingan sendiri .

" Untuk siapa kita bertarung? " seseorang bertanya pada aardvark .

" Yang paling tua , " kata aardvark tersebut .

" Untuk apa kita mati? " seseorang bertanya ke zebra .

" Untuk yang baru , " kata zebra .

Ketika bulan terbit, penuh kegelisahan dan kekacauan , bersinar di atas hutan di mana tidak ada menggerakkan kecuali macaw dan kakatua , berteriak ketakutan . Semua binatang yang mati kecuali harimau , dan hari-harinya diberi nomor dan waktunya berdetak . Dia raja -tama ia disurvei , tapi itu tampaknya tidak berarti apa-apa .
