The lion was hungry after days of unsuccessful hunting. He spotted a sleeping hare beneath a tree and stealthily approached it, ready to eat. However, when a deer passed by, the lion chose to chase it instead, hoping for a bigger meal. The noise caused the hare to wake up and escape. Despite a long pursuit, the lion failed to catch the deer. Returning tired and still empty-handed, the lion realized he had lost the assured food of the hare for only a chance at the deer.

1. The Lion and the Hare
Once upon a time, a lion had been hunting for days without catching anything to eat.
“It looks like I will go hungry again!” he thought.
Then he saw a hare fall asleep beneath a shady tree. He moved quietly towards it, thinking, “At last! Here is a delicious meat sitting and waiting
for me!”
He was about to catch the hare when a fine young deer trotted by. The lion though, “Now there is an even better dinner!” He turned and chased
the deer. The noise woke the hare and he quickly hopped away.
After a long chase, the lion failed to catch the deer. Tired out he came back looking for the hare, but found that it had run away.
“What a fool I am!” the lion said as his empty stomach growled.
“It serves me right for losing the food that was almost mine, just for the chance of getting more!”
