The lion was fascinated by the hanging honeycomb.
“What could be inside that?” the lion thought. The lion wanted to know what was inside the honeycomb. The lion asked the monkey soldier to climb the tree and throw the honeycomb down.
“Your majesty, that’s dangerous. There are thousands of honeybees inside there. If they come out and attack us, we will be in deep trouble,” warned the monkey.
“You are my soldier. Just obey what I command,” the lion was adamant about the honeycomb being down.
So the monkey climbed the tree and threw the honeycomb down.
The monkey jumped from one tree to another and escaped.
The curious lion went near the honeycomb to inspect what was inside it. But all of a sudden, a large number of honeybees came out of the honeycomb. When they saw the lion, they attacked the lion, biting it all over its body. The lion ran for shelter and finally jumped into the river to save himself from the attack.
After that, nobody saw that lion again because he was drowned to death.
