Long time ago a cruel Pharaoh ruled Egypt. The people of the Israelites were allowed to live in Egypt, but he treated them like slaves. As the Israelites began to resist, he ordered to kill all newborn babies. But one child survived. His mother had marooned him it in a little basket on the Nile. The Pharaoh's daughter found the baby and took it with her. She called it Moses. And so Moses became the prince of Egypt.

Since many years the jungle-animals have been living together peacefully. Of course there had been fights, but the strong and intelligent Lion King always managed to settle them. The Panther however had been envious on the power of the king for a long time. When the lioness got a baby and the lion did not worry so much about the animals, the Panther instigated the animals against their king. The Lion and his family were brought out of the jungle and the Panther ruled like a tyrant. The lion baby grew up far away from his homeland. One day he heard from the birds, how much the animals in the jungle had suffered from the Panther’s cruelty. He started thinking, how to help the animals.
