The Lion had severe indigestion so all the doctors in the forests went to see
him. When the zebra irreverently remarked that His Majesty had bad
breath, the furious lion killed him. The hyena, who had observed this,
exclaimed over the pleasant smell all around. The lion said that he was not
stupid and killed him also.

Lastly, the lion turned to the cunning fox for his opinion. The fox saved his
skin by craftily saying that his nose was blocked due to cold, and he could
not smell a thing !

Helen Lepcha is popularly known as Sabitri Devi not only in the hills but
throughout the country as she was renamed by none other than Mahatma
Gandhi himself. Mrs Indira Gandhi called her Saili Didi (in Nepali saili is
the third daughter of a person).

Helen Lepcha was born in Kurseong in the year 1902 or 1903. Her father,
Achung Lepcha, originally hailed from Namchi, Sikkim. She was the third
(Saili) among the seven daughters of Achung Lepcha. She had her school
education from Scots Mission School, Kurseong but she was not interested
in higher education and left the school in 1916. Her permanent residence
was at Galvin Street, Kurseong, Darjeeling.
