Once there lived a Tiger in a forest which sward to protect a bunch of bunnies from a pack of hungry Lions. The Tiger grew older and huge,and it started to eat the bunnies arguing that it needs strength to fight the Lions. Eventually , after eating half of the poor bunnies , the tiger was killed by the Lions. Lions also killed so many bunnies during the fight with Tiger. After the catastrophe, Lions stared at the remaining wounded bunnies with despise ,wondering what to do with them, whether to eat them or use them for future. At this crucial moment, there was a fight rose up among the Lions regarding the ownership of their kill, which ended their 40 years of struggling . Both the Group of Lions needed bunnies' help to capture the title "The President".

Don't capitalize the kinds of animals. What is 'sward'? Lions don't eat bunnies-- they cannot catch them.

Oh thank you verymuch Sir! I just wrote this to metaphoricaly describe the civil war which was ruining my Country for last 40 years. I Thought about start writing a blog to improve my writing skills ,but feeling really reluctant to go public with the amateur skill level I have. Therefore, after completing the first para I posted it here, expecting lot of red marks here and there. I'll write the whole article and let you know if you are interested, Sir.

Sward: I thought it is the past tense of swear ; swear to protect you ; like taking some oath.

Thank you a lot for your feed back. I really din't know that Lions can not catch bunnies. Poor Lions.
