"Indeed your majesty, you are the king of the forest. For did you not wear an ivory crown?", the lead wolf bowed before the great white stag.

"Indeed your majesty, we hold you in highest esteem. For did you not have a great herd of does worshipping your gracious self?", the wolf continued as he eyed the cowering does hungrily.

"Indeed your majesty, it would be our greatest honor to feast upon your noble heart!", the great wolf snarled as he pounced upon the king with the great crown of ivory.

"And so the wolves feasted upon the great white stag and his does..."

And thus the wise old ram ended his tale.

And thus the old ram shook his great curving horns.

And thus he remarked, "Perhaps... Perhaps I should have splintered his great ivory crown with these ancient horns of mine."
