Leo Lion is working out at the gym. He goes to the weight bench and starts lifting enormous weights. He is by far the strongest animal in the gym. The other animals gather around him and admire his strength. Emil Donkey is also among the spectators and wants to be admired by the other animals as much as Leo Lion. He is sure that he is much stronger than Leo Lion. So he runs to a free training bench and picks up the barbell. Right away, Emil Donkey puts twice as many weight plates on it as Leo Lion does. Emil Donkey is known to be a beast of burden and is used to carrying a lot by nature, so he can lift the weights without any problems. Thus, Emil Donkey completely draws the undivided admiration of the surrounding animals.

Leo Lion, on the other hand, is really angry because this donkey steals the whole show from him. So he goes up to the donkey. "You, Donkey, you think you're stronger than me, don't you?" growls Leo in a low voice.

Emil Donkey is just too stupid to realize the danger he is now in and answers carelessly: "Yes, Leo, as far as strength is concerned, no one can hold a candle to me. I'm probably the strongest one here."

The donkey's arrogance infuriates Leo Lion so much that he suddenly jumps up and mauls him with a few swipes of his paw. The other animals watch idly and no one dares to say anything.

And the moral of the story: a donkey may carry more weight than a lion, but the lion is a predator and true strength is always hidden in the heart and not in the muscles.
