A Famous hunter and wrestler named Akiti boasted that he was stronger than any other man or animal. He had easily overcome a giant, a leopard, a lion, a wolf, and a boa-constrictor, and as nobody else opposed his claim, he called himself “the King of the forest.”
Wherever he went, he sang his triumphant wrestling song, and everyone feared  and respected him. But he had forgotten the Elephant, who is a very wise animal and knows many charms.
One day the Elephant challenged him and declared that he had no right to call himself “King,” as the Elephant himself was the king of the forest and could not be defeated.
