The wise lion Kokrak
His positive qualities: Kokrak is a wise and kind person, showing his desire for peace and peaceful coexistence with others. Kokrak possesses wisdom and strategic thinking and seems sensible and balanced in dealing with conflicts.

In total, this story shows the alternation between physical strength, mental strength, and wisdom. It shows that true power is that which is used for the benefit of all and for justice and peace. The story also teaches us the importance of understanding that we can be strong in different ways.
The moral of the story:
“The Bull and the Lion” is about the importance of using force and power wisely and rationally.
The royal character of Taurus Badra shows us how powerful people can forcefully control and tyrannize the weak.
On the other hand, the figure of the lion Kokrak represents wisdom, rationality, and strategic thinking. Kokrak uses his mental power to change Badra. Kokrak shows that peaceful solutions and wisdom can be stronger than physical strength.
power and authority can be a positive force if used wisely and rationally for the benefit of all. By contrast, if force is used oppressively .it becomes a negative force.
A Badra shift in the story shows how listening to other people’s opinions.
the story invites us to use power and authority wisely and direct it toward justice and goodness to build.
