Satyanand decides to show his knowledge by recreating the lion’s skeleton. The other friend reconstructs the lion’s muscles and structure. Vidyanand then wants to show his superior powers by breathing life into the lion. Shivanand tries to stop them and warns them of the consequences of their plans. But they do not stop.

What should we do?" cried Baby Mouse as he clung to his mother’s tail. Mother Mouse paused and stared up into the beady eyes of the hungry cat.
