Story: The Fox & The Sick Lion

One day an old lion realized that he was too old to hunt for food

The lion was sure he would soon die.

He was very sad and went home

As he walked slowly home, the lion told a bird about his sad situation.

Soon everyone in the forest heard about the lion's situation

The other animals all felt sorry for the lion

So one by one they came to visit the lion.

The lion was old weak, but very wise

As each animal came into his home, they were easy to catch and eat

Soon the old lion became happy and fat.

One day, early in the morning, the fox came

The fox was very wise too.

He slowly came close to the lion's home

Standing outside, he asked if the lion was feeling better.

Hello, my best friend,” said the lion

“Is it you? I can't see you very well

You are so far away.

Come closer please and tell me some kind words because i am old and will die soon.”

While the lion was talking, the fox was looking closely at the ground in front of the lion's house.

Finally the fox looked up and said to the lion, “I am sorry but i must go

I am very nervous because i see the footsteps of many animals going into your home, but i see none coming out again!”

Moral of the Story: He is wise who is warned by the mistakes of other.
