The Lion and The Mouse
The Lion and The Mouse
The pact was made between the cunning fox and eagle. It was decided
that the eagle will fly and track preys sleeping in their house while the fox
will come and kill them. The meats will be shared equally between the
two. It became easier for both now to have wholesome diet everyday
until fox thought, he need to have more share as it is him who is actually
making more efforts in killing the preys.
Next time when the eagle tracked a prey, fox refused to kill and asked
eagle to first promise that he will be happy with whatever share fox gives
him. Eagle unwillingly accepted. Henceforth, whenever a prey was
trapped fox used to have the entire meat and leave little for the eagle.
The unsatisfied eagle now planned to teach a lesson to the fox. One day
he saw a trap, made by poachers to catch elephant. The 20 feet deep
trench was covered with grasses. The eagle as usual came to fox and
said there lays 3 fat rabbits sleeping under the grass. The fox with water
in his mouth rushed towards the said place and fall into the trench.
