The scorching June sun was burning Yusa's body in the USA, the reason being the absence of rain for many years due to which drought was spreading due to the heat. Slowly, plants, soil, stones, everything around Yusa was separating as if they were being roasted in a fire. He thought that he had to do something, otherwise he and the people around him would continue to perish. For some days, a lion had been standing over Yusa and roaring loudly from there, causing discomfort to Yusa. He had told the lion many times that his roaring in this manner caused him pain and also affected other members of his family. So, he should stop it. But the lion king continued his roar, ignoring him.

Yusa had said that some solution must be found. Once Yusa dreamed that he was in school, and the atmosphere of the school was completely chaotic, many people, all animals and their children, birds' children, trees and plants were sitting together in a room wearing clothes and speaking something. In the dream, Yusa thought that he would also go to school and study. After that, he would explain to people what should be done and what should not be done. When he woke up in the morning, Yusa went to school for the first time. He didn't know the time, so he went in the afternoon. It was difficult for him to enter the school. He was so big that he needed a big door to enter. He came up with a plan and pushed all the children out by blowing a whistle. Everyone started moving away from Yusa. There were also some masters who became angry at the sight of Yusa. Meanwhile, Yusa saw that everyone was standing with good clothes and ties around their necks. There was a child standing far away staring at Yusa for a long time. He was probably a bear's child, Yusa thought, and called him. "What's wrong, kid? Why are you so troubled and why are you wearing these glasses above your eyes?" Yusa perhaps didn't know about glasses. The bear's child told Yusa about the glasses and started talking to him. The bear's child asked Yusa, "Why are you here?" In the meantime, Yusa also asked the bear's child. "First tell me why you came here." Then the bear's child said, "I came here to study and become a lawyer. Yusa said, "Okay, what happens when you become a lawyer?" The bear's child said, "Those who become lawyers fight for justice, they fight for what is right, if something wrong happens with someone, then they go to a big place and demand justice for it." Yusa thought it was even better. I can study here and do something for myself and also talk about justice with the lion brother. After a lot of thinking, one of the masters came to Yusa and asked, "Brother, tell me what is the matter and why did you disturb everyone in this way?" Tell me what happened, what is the matter?" Yusa said, "We also have to study, we have to come to school, so what can we do for that?" The master said, "It is not possible for you to enroll here, go and see another school or come after changing something about yourself. Take a good bath and wear good clothes on your body. So that your appearance and shape can also improve. So that it doesn't affect the children. Yusa was a little surprised and confused at that time. What was there inside and outside him that needed to be changed? Yusa couldn't understand anything, so he went home. The next day, Yusa went to the same school again and asked the master why he had to change inside and outside. After thinking for a while, he asked the master. But the master did not agree with Yusa's explanation. Then he started going from there. In the meantime, the bear's child came there and started asking him why? Won't you study with us? Then Yusa said, "There is no such thing, my friend. I want to study but the master is saying that I am different from everyone else and I cannot study with them." Then the bear's child said, "Don't worry, you can demand justice for yourself even without studying. Yusa said happily, "How?" Then the bear's child said, "Look for a lawyer for yourself and tell them to go to court for you and discuss your problems. After much searching, Yusa found a lawyer. He listened to Yusa's problems. He also heard about the lion. The lawyer said, "Brother Yusa, you are unnecessarily fighting. Stay as you are now. Where you are, stay as you are now. Yusa said, "But, sir, how long will this go on? How long will someone shout on our heads? We also have a life. Anyway, people don't keep us safe, when they feel like it, they throw bombs and kill us. Then the lion king's rule also works here. We don't even have an existence. Are we even part of this world?" After a long argument, the lawyer agreed. The matter reached the court. All the animals were called. The masters were called. The birds and plants were called.

The conversation started and the judge said that everyone would give a reason why Yusa should go to school and why Yusa should not go to school. The bear's child said... "Judge, we are all equal, everyone has the right to study. Education is equal for everyone, so Yusa can study with us too." The master said... "Judge, Yusa is completely different from all the other children, his appearance, his family, everything is different. One day their existence will end. Someone will eliminate them. So why come to school and bother us?" The elephant said... "Judge, no one even goes here, neither do trees grow over them quickly, nor does anyone go here to eat anything, then what is the use of living here?" It should be finished for them. In the meantime, when the lion king came there, everyone stood trembling with fear.

The lion said, "I climb on top of it and make a noise from there that scares people. Aren't you afraid of me? If this school starts going, then whom will I climb on top of? End it, this court will not have any education. If this happens, I will destroy this Yusa with an explosion." As soon as Yusa was blown away, Yusa woke up and saw that he was slowly disappearing. Slowly, his size was decreasing. People were eliminating him and ruling in his place.
