old age he was too weary and weak to
hunt for his food. Sadly, he approached his
den knowing that soon he would perish.
He stopped at the entrance, and breathed
difficulty, spoke in a low, soft voice to a
pack of wolves which was passing by his
den at the moment. He told them of his
sad condition.
Soon, the news of the lion’s illness spread
throughout the forest and caused much
concern among the other beasts. Out of

come to pay his respects too. The fox,
well-known for his wits and intelligence,
approached the lion’s den with extreme
caution. Standing some distance away, he

and asked him if he was feeling any better.
“My dear friend,” said he lion, “is it you? I
can hardly see you. You are so far away.
Please come closer and whisper some
words into my ears to console me for i
have not long to live.

closely the ground in front of the lion’s
den. At las, he looked up, and truning to
go away, he remarked, “Please excuse me
if i do not stay, for i feel quite uneasy at
seeing the many footprints leading into
your den, but none leaving it.
