There was once a Lion who came across three bulls: a red bull, a white bull and a black bull. The Lion tried to attack them but because they were strong together he decided to bide his time. He befriended the bulls and told them he was protecting them.
One day he called the Red Bull and the Black Bull and said ”My friends I am really concerned for you.”
“Why?” they asked. The Lion responded “The White Bull represents a threat to you; he stands out with his complexion and he is going to make you a target for other predators and hunters; the lives of both of you at risk, let me eliminate him.”
The Red Bull and Black Bull agreed, after all the Lion was their sincere friend and King of the Jungle. The lion attacked the white bull and, because noone came to his help, he was defeated. The lion ate him.
A few weeks went by and the Lion called the Black Bull over and gives him the same speech ”The Red Bull represents a threat to you by attracting attention, let me eliminate him and you will be safe.”
The Black Bull agreed; he was a friend of the King of the Jungle so who cares about anyone else….So he allowed the Lion to kill and eat the Red Bull.
A few days later the Lion confronted the Black Bull and said “Now it is your turn”…The Black Bull finally realised his mistake and said, ”I was killed the moment the white bull was killed."

Just one question. If a bull and lion fought, wouldn't the bull stab and kill the lion?

The Lions not stupid. He's not gonna attack head on. He's gonna come at the bull from the side or from behind. Lions usually go for the neck.

Noone realised that you never get three bulls together. You get just one bullfor every herd of cows.
But I'm not sure it should be taken literally (especially since animals don't speak English).

Yeah, well I get the message and all that! But I'm just being picky. And a lion can only take down an ill or old bull. Otherwise the bull can turn around or kick the lion.

yh normally u don't get 3 or more Bulls together but the story seemed like a it had a moral we all tend to accpet it on that fact... n lions usually attack as a herd ... coz its hard for it to do it alone since the Bull uses self-defence tactics (vicious!) but again since it was that-sort-of-story... (u can guess wot i am gna say nxt!)

reminds me of pasteur martin neomeller's poem has this got any refrence to the holocaust?

This is an ancient proverb/fable, sometimes accredited to Aesop.
It refers to many events, the holocaust could be one I guess.
When I heard it, the brother was using to explain the problem between labelling other Muslims as 'extremist' or whatever, and trying to break up the Muslim community. Also when Muslims take kafirun as their allies and fight against other Muslims (e.g Bangladesh when it separated from Pakistan)

o i remembr these... they were the stories that we learnt wen we were younger ... obviously they were taught to explain morals and good habits. i like the following i think it relates to humans very much (all of em do but dunno y this sticks out):
The Mother and the Wolf:
A FAMISHED WOLF was prowling about in the morning in search of food. As he passed the door of a cottage built in the forest, he heard a Mother say to her child: Be quiet, or I will throw you out of the window, and the Wolf shall eat you. The Wolf sat all day waiting at the door. In the evening he heard the same woman fondling her child and saying: He is quiet now, and if the Wolf should come, we will kill him. The Wolf, hearing these words, went home, gaping with cold and hunger.
Moral:
Be not in haste to believe what is said in anger or thoughtlessness.

I think she means Intelligence... also goes by the name of Common Sense.
Which is true. Alot of animals are as dumb as mules.... no offence to the mule.

then why personify animals? y give them human qualities and use em in such a manner? y compare animals to humans? i think there is a reason that i can not put in words... just cant b bothred!
animals (except humans) do not require intelligence to survive... they have their own personal quality that humans lack to survive ... then y is it that humans are made to learn from the animals?

He's a Scottish lad that grew up in an agnostic family. But he eventually converted to Islam, so now no one has an excuse to not be a good Muslim.

I don't know for sure, but the way you talk/type and the ideas you carry make you seem fairly enlightened. When I say good I mean fairly practising. Anyway, I am generalising here, but reverts are sometimes more practising then those who are born Muslim, naturally you felt that Islam was the way forwards and that's something quite alot of the Muslims haven't realised.

Divide and eat. The lion is clever and played on time-old prejudices which relate more to humans than anyone else.
This is a great story! ^^
