Example of text:-

`Once upon a time, in a great big jungle
lived a great big lion.
He had great big paws and very sharp claws.
"I'm king of the jungle," roared Lion.
"I'm going to eat you all up."
"No!" cried the jungle animals.
"You`re small and weak," said Lion........

and as the other animals debate the delicate situation, Rabbit comes up with a plan of action which successfully challenges the Lion's strength.
