The donkey said to the tiger:
– “The grass is blue”.
The tiger replied:
– “No, the grass is green.”
The discussion heated up, and
the two decided to submit him to
arbitration, and for this they
went before the lion, the King
of the Jungle.
Already before reaching the
forest clearing, where the lion
was sitting on his throne, the
donkey began to shout:
– “His Highness, is it true that
the grass is blue?”.
The lion replied:
– “True, the grass is blue.”
The donkey hurried and
continued:
– “The tiger disagrees with me
and contradicts and annoys me,
please punish him.”
The king then declared:
– “The tiger will be punished
with 5 years of silence.”
The donkey jumped cheerfully and
went on his way, content and
repeating:
– “The Grass Is Blue”…
The tiger accepted his
punishment, but before he asked
the lion: “Your Majesty, why
have you punished me?, after
all, the grass is green.”
