The smart lion thinks he can use the fox to bring him food every day. But the fox is smarter.
The Lion and the Fox
Retold by Deepa Balsavar
Once upon a time
there was a thick green forest
where the animals had plenty to eat.
Then came men with machines
and they started chopping down the trees.
Fewer trees mean fewer animals.
Soon, the mighty lion
found that there was hardly anything left to eat.
“We have to work together,”
he said to his friend, the fox.
“You find an animal
and bring it to me.
I will kill it,
and then we can both eat it.”
The fox searched and searched.
Finally
she found a man standing next to a pile of logs.
“There are bigger and better trees on the other side of the forest,”
the fox said to him.
“Where? Where? Show me!”
said the greedy man.
So the fox led the man here and there
and round and round the forest…
and took him to where the hungry lion was waiting.
The lion leapt towards the man.
The man shot up the closest tree just like a monkey.
The lion and the fox were not too worried.
They knew the man could not escape.
They started discussing how they would share the food.
“I’ll start with the toes,”
said the lion.
“I’ll start with the fingers,”
said the fox.
One by one
they chose who would eat what.
Finally, the lion licked his lips and said,
“I will eat the brain. Mmmm!”
Now the fox had also been dreaming about eating the man’s brain.
She told the lion,
“But this animal has no brain!
If he did,
would he cut all the trees
and destroy the forest?”
Up on the tree,
the man nodded sadly.
The fox was right.
He had been looking around
for trees to jump onto and run away.
But there were none nearby!
