Once upon a time in the lush, giggly Banyanpur Forest, lived King Balu, a grand elephant with a penchant for dramatic gestures š. He ruled over all animals with pomp and pride, and he had a magical BulldozerĀ that he claimed would keep the forest āclean and righteous.ā
Every week, King Balu would roar, āTime for bulldozer justice!ā and flatten any crooked termite mound šāor sometimes innocent ant hillsāwithout asking questions š¤. The mice begged, āBut Your Majesty, that was Grandma Antās home!ā and Balu would stomp, āToo bad, forest norms demand swift action!ā š¤
Meanwhile, the wise old owl Sir HootingtonĀ watched from a high branch, shaking his head. Heād murmur, āDue process, Balu⦠due processā¦ā but Balu barely listened š.
One sunny morning, the forest woke up to rumors: bulldozers were targeting the cozy homes of the rabbits, the badgers, the squirrelsāanyone who opposed King Baluās sudden rule šæļø. The animals trembled when they saw the Bulldozerās whistle blow.
Enter Maya the Monkeyābrilliant, sprightly, and full of mischief. She swung into the royal court, chattering š£: āYour Majesty, rumor has it your Bulldozer is going rogue, hitting homes belonging to peaceful creatures too!ā King Balu stamped his foot, āFake news, Maya! My rule is absolute!ā
But Maya was clever. She gathered others: Zara the Zebra, Ramu the Raccoon, Gita the Goat, and Tara the Tiger. Together with Sir Hootington perched above, they hatched a plan: bring the case to the Forest High Court, presided over by the majestic Lady Peacock JusticeĀ š©āāļøš¼.
At the high court, Maya spoke boldly: āYour Honor, the Bulldozer has wrongfully destroyed homes of the innocent without warning or chance to speak!ā Zara chimed in with tears, āMy striped cousins had no idea why their burrow vanished!ā
Sir Hootington offered ancient scrolls about fair hearing, rights, and due process, reminding everyone that justice doesn't mean instant destructionānot in a civilized forest š¦.
After much fluttering and debate, Lady Peacock Justice delivered the verdict: āKing Baluās Bulldozer Justice is unconstitutional!āĀ š² She declared all demolitions illegal, ordering restitution to be made and strict protocols to be followed if any mound ever needed clearing again. Bulldozers would now require a warning, a chance to speak, and judicial approval!
King Balu squawked in disbelief, stomped in anger, but finally accepted the judgment. Slowly he started sending engineers to rebuild the homes with apology notes and honey cakes šÆ. The animals cheered!
And from that day on, every forest residentābig or smallāfelt safe that their voices would be heard before any action came their way.
š§ The Moral of the Tale
Even powerful rulers must follow rules and respect everyone's rights š. Justice canāt be served by surprise destructionāit thrives on transparency, hearings, fairness, and compassion.
