I would be interested to see what the lion did to deserve such dislike. Was it simply that he was unfair, or was he a cruel leader? I would be interested in this story being turned into a human version, perhaps subjects find the king injured on the side of the road?
What happens to the animals afterward, do the heirs get revenge for their fallen father?
The Lion and the Statue
oh, I would love to write a story where we get to see the world from the eyes of a lion, specifically a circus or a hunting trip. With the circus it would be interesting to see why the lion behaves, maybe free food or he is scared to retaliate. With the hunting trip it would be interesting to see the lion mocking the hunter and making fun of him.
Fox and the Mask
So for this one it would be interesting to create a universe where everyone wears a mask all the time until two people have fallen in love, then those two people can take off their masks, but only in the presence of one another. So masks are generally looked upon as physical representations of a persons personality or dreams. In this world a girl would fall in love because of the mask, but when it is taken off she shuns her mate because of his physical appearance and is unable to think beyond that. The man is angered, he had fallen in love with the girl not her mask, and is upset that she was so shallow. Then he says, Outside show is poor substitute for inner worth , and leaves her there- aware that everybody will know his true appearance but also that everybody will see her true self.
Dog and the Shadow
I can just picture a cat sitting in the tree and watching this foolish dog loose his food. Perhaps the cat is sneaky and retrieves it or maybe he lies in wait for the next time a foolish dog comes by. It would be interesting to see the cat rebuke the dog and explaining that it was a reflection rather then another animal traveling near by with food and the dog rewards/thanks the cat.
