A tiger walked from behind a tree.
"Hello little puppy" he growled.
Leo was startled by the tiger that stood before him, but he got his brave attitude back. "Hi, I'm Leo" Leo said.
"Leo? That means lion. Your a wolf!" The tiger laughed. "I'm Leo, because I'm as brave and strong as a lion" Leo explained. The tiger laughed.
"Why are you laughing at me!" Leo growled. "I am Ursa, and your in my way puppy" the tiger, Ursa said.
"Ursa means bear!" Leo growled.
"Huh! But I am as big, strong, and deadly as a bear!" Ursa laughed.
"But that's what I said!" Leo argued.
"Wolves are so stubborn" Ursa rolled his eyes. "We are not!" Leo growled.
"Yeah you are. You are all as weak, stubborn and unintelligent as your 'great hero' Dux" Ursa laughed.
Leo growled. "Take it back!" He barked. "Make me" Ursa grinned.

Leo, not being able to stand there as someone insulted his hero, he remembered what Dux would do.
He would say, to stand up for what's right, and when someone's picking on you, you fight!

Leo charged at Ursa, but Ursa, being ten times his size, grabbed Leo's hind leg, and crunched it in his jaws.
Leo howled in pain, before Ursa dropped him to the floor.
"I will let you go alive, just because your a puppy." Ursa said.
Leo limped off. Full of shame. He lost. He retreated. Just what his hero, Dux wouldn't want him to do. How could he? If Dux were here, he certainly would be disappointed in Leo, is what Leo had felt.

He reached his pack. "Leo!" His parents called. His parents and Stella rushed to Leo. "What happened?!" His mother gasped. Leo, still full of shame, said, " Dux always said, if you are being picked on, fight. Fight and you will never loose, if you do it for what's right..." Leo started. His family exchanged a confused look.
"But I fought for what's right...and I lost... I LOST!!!" Leo howled. Full of grief and sadness, he felt like he had been betrayed. "You can't put too much faith in one wolf, Leo. I guess he's not the hero you thought he was?" Stella asked. "No. I'm just not the lion I thought I was..."
