‘The camel was deeply moved by the loyalty shown by the 3 ministers. Were the 3 ministers loyal to the lion? Give reasons. |
|
Answer» No, the 3 ministers were not loyal to their king, the Lion. The Camel was deeply moved by the loyalty shown by the 3 ministers. He thought that it was his duty to offer himself as food for the king. He asked the lion to eat him instead of the ministers. Hardly had the camel spoken these words, the 3 ministers were ready to pounce on them. But the Lion stopped them immediately and said that he was deeply touched by their offers and he would readily accept them all. He said that he would eat them in the same order in which they offered themselves. The lion said this to test their loyalty. The ministers looked at each other and without a moment to lose, they all ran away from the place. But only the camel remained there. Thus the 3 ministers proved that they were not loyal to their king. |
