Read and listen to this story in Beelinguapp!

The king said, "It's not our problem, not a problem at all." No sooner had the king said that when a lizard came out of the bushes and started shooting out its long tongue at the flies.
Shoppers watched as a cat jumped onto the back of the lizard.
"Your majesty," said the minister. "Perhaps we should do something about this."
"Don't worry," said the king. "It's not our problem, not a problem at all."
As soon as these words came out of the king's mouth, a barking dog began to snap at the cat, trying to bite it. The minister looked down at the fight between the cat and the dog.
"Your majesty, perhaps we should do something about the situation." "Don't worry," said the king. "It's not our problem, not a problem at all."
