Although the mouse deer in the fear of feeling very very, but his conscience encouraged him to help the rat who was in trouble trouble. Ahirnya, kancilpun dare to approach them. With his usual pretentious look, he tried to get closer to the lions and rats.

With style as if not know what happened, the mouse deer greeted them "Wow .. what are you playing / seems fun. Can I join? " Ask the deer. Seeing the sudden arrival of the deer, the lion and mouse were surprised. "Wow .. appears again one loser. I happen to be hungry. How dare you dating yourself to seek harm ". The Lion said. With a brave bravado, the mouse deer answered "halah .. why be afraid? What am I to be afraid of? I'm used to fighting danger? All I can beat. Starting from the crocodiles, tigers, even humans I've ever beat. I'm king in this forest, you newcomer where do you know? ". Said the mouse deer. The lion was surprised to hear the answer of the deer. Curiosity arises in his heart for the truth of the word deer. "Is that true?" The Lion asked.

"If you do not believe it, you can ask one of my advisors .. he's my trust advisor." Answer the mouse deer again. "Where? Where can I ask with your advisor? ". The lion is increasingly curious. "Wow .. do you pretend you do not know or do not pretend to know? What you hold, he is my trust advisor. If there is anything with him, then I will not forgive those who harm him ". Answer the deer by installing a fierce look. The lion began in liputi doubt, he began to be affected by the story of the deer. What's more the lion belongs to the new inhabitants of the forest. So he did not really know about everything in the forest. "Is it true that the little beast said? Is he really your king? And what's all that true? " Ask the lion to the mouse.

Realizing that the mouse deer only intends to help him, the mouse understands and starts following the scheme of the deer. "Yeah .. right .. he is king in this forest. He has defeated many animals bigger than you, even eat them .. he is well known and respected in this forest.

He began to doubt .. but his pride as a lion that dashing and invincible make bold still try. "Hah .. I do not believe .. if everything you say is true, where is the proof?". Ask the lion to the mouse deer. But the bottom of the clever dwarf, this time his position as a mouse deer becomes the king of the forest makes it must look authoritative. So he tried to stay calm before the lion.

"Do you want proof? A few days ago, I also once ate a lion like you because he was being insolent in this forest.

But the mouse deer winked at him for the rat to believe in all his plans.

Finally, mouse deer, mouse, and lion walk towards the river bank in the middle of the forest. They headed for a hole by the river, the hole deep and dark. Only the reflection of the sunlight makes the very clear water in the hole become glistening like a mirror. "Well, now ... you're a lion ... look into the hole yourself. Inside the hole yesterday I kept the lion's head that I had eaten. It tastes really good, and I will not waste a chance if there's another lion I can eat again '. Said the mouse deer.

But to her surprise, when she saw in the hole there was really a lion's head. Without waiting for the signal, the lion ran scared. Because he did not want to eat by the mouse deer like a lion in the hole.

Seeing that, deer and mouse can only laugh out loud. They are satisfied because their tactics are able to deceive the lioness who is quite arrogant. Actually, in the hole there is nothing besides the water that is clear enough so that it can function like glass. Since the lion just peeps, he does not realize that the lion's head in the hole is the reflection of his own shadow. And once again, the clever deer has managed to save his theme. Although he must pretend to be the king of the forest, it could be the hare is the real king of the forest. Not because of his strength, but because of his ingenuity and his helpful nature.
