Dr. Pigeon requested the lion to follow and enter the den quickly. The lion thought for a while and then followed Dr.Dove. As the lion entered the den, Dr.Dove took out two lumps of cotton from its kit and approached the Lion.
Mr. Lion please listen to me these lumps of cotton help you proof yourself from the sound pollution being made by the Tiger. Please place these lumps one each in to your ears and experience for yourself.
The lion did as suggested and both the lion and Dr.Dove came out the den silently.
Dr.Dove told the tiger: Mr. Tiger please shout as loudly as you can you will have no objection from the Lion.
The tiger shouted loudly and the lion felt no disturbance.
The lion retuned to its den greeting the Pigeon by waving its paw. The tiger got furious at this gesture and continue shouting at its best – also puzzled as to why the lion has become so calm.
Seeing this confused state of the tiger Dr.Dove told: Mr. Tiger I told the tiger of your power and advised him not to quarrel with you. You are more powerful than the lion. See the lion itself has agreed to it.
Tiger felt very happy and gently stroked Dr.Dove with its claw in appreciation of its help. Then Dr.Dove told: Mr. Tiger you should not stay here that too before a lion’s den. Because seeing you here other animals might feel that you are serving the lion. So I suggest that you should to that hilltop and live there.
Yes, Dr.Dove I shall follow your advice and I thank you for this: saying this the tiger proceeded to the hilltop.
The elephant was thrilled at this sudden change and astonishingly looked at Dr. Dove.
Dr.Dove fluttered its wings and flew towards south.
