How Chameleon Cheated Animals in Election?

Once animals of the world used to live together peacefully. They had no one over to rule and judge them. As a result, many wicked deeds were constantly done as no body was fearful from any punishment.At last they met together to discuss this situation of anarchy and decided to choose a king. 

First of all lion was suggested but all opposed him as he was too fierce. Wolf was the next choice but the sheep and goats refused to have him as he was their foe. 

As it was impossible to please everyone by choice. They decided another way. Two miles away there was a great stool placed under a very ancient tree which they believed to be the abode of some of their gods. They would have a great race. The animal which reached and sat down first on the stool should be chosen king.

The day of race arrived. All animals, great and small, prepared to take part in it. The signal being given, they started off. The hare-being a very fine runner-speedily outdistanced the others. He reached the stool five hundred years ahead of the next animal. You may judge of his annoyance when, just as he was going to sit down, a voice came from the stool saying, "Take care, Mr, Hare, take care. I was here first." This was the chameleon. He, being able to change his colour to suit his surroundings, had seized Mr. Hare's tail just as the race began. Having made his colour match the hare's no one had noticed him. He had held on very tightly, and when the hare turned around to take his seat Chameleon dropped off and landed on the stool.

The hare saw how he had been tricked and was very angry. The other animals, however, arrived before he could harm the chameleon. According to the agreement they had made, they had no choice but to make Chameleon king.

But none of the animals were satisfied with the choice. So as soon as the meeting was over, all scattered in every direction and left Chameleon quite alone.

He was so ashamed that he went and made his home at the top of very high tree on a mountain. In the dead of night you may hear him calling his attendants to come and stay with him. But he is left quite alone. "A king without subjects is no king."
