A lion meets a lone leopard resting in the trees away from him. The lion wants to fight but the leopard resists. Soon the mask comes off: "Why don't you come down and fight like a leopard; you, the strongest pound for pound creature on the Serengeti." ""No," the leopard responds, "go pick on somebody your own size." With all the bullying and harassment in today's schools, I just thought this was the most poignant way to show that is up to the person to decide if and when he/she is going to have to fight. There is no honor in fighting, just an ego boost if you either annihilate or outlast the other person/fellow creature. Everything else is just clique gossip (agreed to lies) to pass time. This, with the help of Aesop, is what drives my writing.
