The Revolution in the Zoo (c.1920)

Abstract

When the war between the wild animals and wild birds came to an end and the domestic animals, who had fought on the side of the wild animals, were once again persecuted by the wild ones as in previous times, they eventually lost their patience. So one day, spontaneously and with great animosity, the domestic animals rebelled and they told the lion, along with all of his councillors – who represented all of the different kinds of wild animals – to go to the devil. A great council of domestic animals was elected to take care of the government in the animal kingdom. The lion, who had ruled as king until then, was banished to a distant cave.
