THE OLD LION STORY

Once upon  a time, an old lion who was unable to kill any prey for food due to his old age said to himself one day, "I must do something to stay my stomach else I will die of starvation".He had been thinking for long on how to solve this problem of getting a prey cheaply while immobile and at last an idea clicked him. He decided to lie down in the cave pretending to be ill and then who-so-ever 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 evil is short lived as said.

One day, a fox came to visit the ailing lion. As foxes are clever by nature, he stood at the mouth of the cave and looked about. His sixth sense worked and he came to know the reality. So, he called out to the lion from outside and said, Great king of the jungle, how are you today, greetings from me and others as well sir?
The lion replied in a weaker tone, oh beautiful fox I am not feeling well at all. Could you please come inside?
Then the fox replied, I would have love to come in, sir! But on seeing, all foot prints going to your cave and none coming out, I would be foolish enough to come in.
The fox having said so left and went to alert the other animals.

Moral: 
Always Keep Your Eyes Open and Stay Alert before Walking in Any Situation.
