a. Lion, monkey, sheep and fox.
The Clever Fox
Once upon a time, there was a lion. All
the animals in the jungle were terribly
afraid of him.
One day, the lion fell sick. A goat
and a sheep decided to visit the lion.
First, the goat entered the cave. Before
the goat came out, the sheep went in.
After some time, a fox came to the
cave. He heard a voice from inside the
cave saying, “Who’s out there? Please
come in.”
The fox answered, “I’m extremely
sorry. I won’t go in now because you
have visitors. I see hoof marks going in
but none coming out. I will go in when
your visitors come out.”
In the end, the fox did not go into
the cave. He was clever so he was safe.
