His subjects were loyal and happy to be under King Veer's rule. One day King Veer decided to go for hunt. He asked his servants to bring the fastest horse from the stable. His servants brought Babu, a tall, fast, energetic horse. King Veer rode the horse and headed to the forest.  As they reached the forest, King Veer prepared himself for the hunt.
