The Fox and the Sick Lion
Then he slowly  turned  and  entered  his cave.  One day, a lion  announced  he was sick.  He let out a feeble roar that  summoned  all the animals to his death bed to  pay  their last respects.
A goat  came  and  entered  the cave. Then a sheep  went  in. Then a duck.  After a while, the sick Lion  came  to the mouth of his cave. He  yawned . Finally, he  noticed  Fox, who had waiting outside.
“ Fox,”  smiled  the Lion, in a welcoming kind of way. “Why have you not entered my cave to pay your respects to me?”
“ Your Majesty,” said  the fox. “I noticed animals go into your cave, but  none  come out.” The fox ran away. “ Your Majesty,”  said   the fox. “I  noticed  animals go into your cave, but  none  come  out.” The fox  ran  away.
