Part 1
The Lion and The Clever Fox
Once upon a time, there lived a lion in a dense forest. One morning his wife told him that his breath was bad and unpleasant. The lion became embarrassed and angry after hearing that. He wanted to check this fact with someone else. So he called three other people outside his cave.
First came the lamb. The lion who opened his mouth wide said, "Sheep, tell me does my mouth stink?" The sheep thought that the lion wanted an honest answer, so the sheep said, “Yes, my friend. There seems to be something wrong with your breath." This simple talk does not suit the lion. He pounced on the sheep, killing him.
Then the lion called the wolf and said, “What do you think? Do I have bad breath? The wolf saw what happened to the sheep. He wanted to be very careful in answering questions. So, the wolf said, “Who said your breath is bad. It's as sweet as the scent of a rose." When the lion heard his answer, he roared angrily and immediately attacked the wolf and killed him. “The more flattering!” growled the lion.
Finally, it was the fox's turn. The lion asked the same question. The fox is well aware of the fate of the sheep and the wolf. So he coughed and cleared his throat again and again and then said, “Oh Friend, for the past few days, I have had a very bad cold. Because of this, I cannot smell anything, pleasant or unpleasant.”
The lion saved the fox's life.
The End.
