Then he slowly turned and entered his cave.

Aesop’s Fables

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.

Aesop’s Fables

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?”

Aesop’s Fables

“Your Majesty,” said
the fox. “I noticed
animals go into your
cave, but none come
out.” The fox ran away.
