Main points of the story	The story tells about the arrogant lion and always said that "I am a Very Mighty King!". One day when he want to look at the beetle's bow, lion leaned over, peering down at the teeny tiny Beetle.  His splendid robes, his jeweled crown and his many medals made him so top-heavy that Lion wobbled and swayed as he loomed over the teeny tiny Beetle.  Then Lion lost his balance and fell onto his head!  His royal crown went flying off, and Lion rolled over and over, down the steep hill, and plopped into a ditch filled with muddy water. And it makes He was not so very mighty, after all
New Vocabularies found	strutted, bow, peering, preened, pranced.
Comments	I think it was funny story because just because the vanity of the lion, it makes the lion lose his confidence as a king.

What I can get from the stories that don't be too proud of what we had. Therefore all just belongs to the god. We have tograteful for all we have and be beneficial to another.
