Once upon a time, there was a kingdom named Madhura. A king named Devraj ruled this kingdom. The kingdom was surrounded by a beautiful jungle where many animals lived happily. Among them, a lion named Mrugraj had been the leader for a long time. Under his guidance, all the animals thrived.

As Mrugraj grew old, he wanted to choose a new leader to take over the jungle. In the nearby region of Madhura, there were people who cut trees for a living and sold the wood. The demand for wood grew, leading them to cut more and more trees. This caused the jungle to shrink, and the animals lost their homes.

Mrugraj was worried about this problem. He called a meeting of all the animals in the jungle to discuss a solution. Unfortunately, none of the suggestions were effective. Mrugraj saw this as an opportunity to find the next leader. He declared that whoever could solve the problem would become the next king and adjourned the meeting.
