The Clever Fox and The Talking Cave Story

Once upon a time, there lived an old lion in a forest. Due to his health it was unable to kill any prey for his food. So, he said to himself, I must do something to stay my stomach else I will die soon. He kept thinking and at last an idea came to his mind. He decided to lie down in the cave pretending to be ill and then whosoever will come to inquire about his health, will become his prey. The old lion put his wicked plan into practice and it started working. Many of his well-wishers got killed. But it was the time for a fox. 

One day, the fox came to visit the ailing lion. As foxes are clever by nature, the fox stood at the mouth of the cave and looked about. He saw some bones are laying outside the cave. So, he called out to the lion from outside and said, Oh my dear majesty how are you and how do you feel now?

The lion replied, “I am not feeling well at all. But why don’t you come inside and see me for a moment?” Then the fox replied, I would love to come in, my majesty! But on seeing, all footprints going to your cave and none coming out, I would be foolish enough to come in. Saying so, the fox went to alert the other animals. In this way he saved his life and also other animals from that forest too.

Moral: Always keep your eyes open and stay alert before walking in any situation.
