The Lion And The Fox

---

A Lion, growing old, was unable to catch the animals, and so intended to live by cunning. He went into a den, lay down there, and pretended that he was sick. The animals came to see him, and he ate up those that went into his den. The Fox guessed the trick. She stood at the entrance of the den, and said:

“Well, Lion, how are you feeling?”

The Lion answered:

“Poorly. Why don’t you come in?”

The Fox replied:

“I do not come in because I see by the tracks that many have entered, but none have come out.”
