"Flap it all up. That will suit you!" the zebra said. "Yes, it will even look better with a bit of colour to match your moustache," the giraffe added. "What about a few ribbons?" the vulture asked. Then cried the hyena "I know, a paper crown is what you need!" A snake was passing by silently. Seeing the king there he simply raised his head. "What do you think I should do, snake?"

"Oh, why am I so vain? Am I not the king of the jungle?" roared the lion. He shook his head from side to side to shake his mane back into place. "From now on I promise to be a wise king and not bother about my looks!" the lion roared.
