The Court of Accusation and the Royal Summons

1． In the forest kingdom, the Lion King convened a grand trial to judge Reynard the Fox.

2． Many animals gathered before the throne, each recounting how they had been tricked by Reynard.

3． A timid kangaroo stepped forward, lowering her head. “He stole the entire barn of grain and grass from my home.”

4． “It was the food I saved for my children to survive the winter. Now we’re all going to starve to death!”

5． The Lion frowned, about to speak, but the wolf interrupted, “Your Majesty, that’s just the tip of the tail!”

6． “He tricked me into fishing with my tail, and it froze right off!”

7． The hens stepped forward angrily. “Reynard didn’t just steal our eggs—he used our feelings for the King!”

8． “He faked a royal decree and said the King was granting us special protection.”

9． “He told us we should offer fresh eggs as a token of gratitude for the King’s love—so no wild beast would harm us.”

10． “We believed him. We were deeply moved—and laid all our eggs without hesitation.”

11． “But Reynard collected the eggs, turned around, and ran off—he took every single one!”

12． The animals all cried out, “Punish Reynard! He must not be spared!”

13． The Lion roared, “Enough! Lord Bear, go at once and bring Reynard here to stand trial!”
