The squirrel and the lion

Once upon a time a squirrel wants to become a lion.
He goes to the lion and asks: "I want to be a lion. What shall I do?"
The lion says: "You need to go hunting for meat."
The squirrel goes back home and catches a bird. But he has no appetite for the bird. When hunger kicks in, he gathers 5 nuts. He eats 3 and hides 2 and goes to sleep.
The next day he wakes up and feels dreams unfulfilled. He goes to the lion again.
"How can I become a lion."? Asks the squirrel.
The lion grabs the squirrel and swallows it.
