Once upon a time, there was a lion that grew so old. He could not kill any prey for his food.
So, he said to himself, “I must do something to get food or I will die of starvation.”

He kept thinking and thinking. Finally, an idea clicked him. He decided to lie down in the cave
 pretending to be ill. Whoever coming to inquire about his health, he would become his prey.
The old lion put his wicked plan into practice and it started working. Many of his well-wishers
got killed. But evil is short lived.

One day, a fox came to visit the lion. As foxes are clever by nature, the fox stood at the mouth
of the cave and looked about. His sixth sense worked. He came to know the reality. So, he
called out to the lion from outside. “How are you, Sir?”

The lion replied, “I am not feeling well at all. But why don’t you come inside?”
The fox replied, “I would love to come in, Sir! But I see all footprints going to your cave and
none coming out. So, I would be foolish enough to come in.”
