<h2>THE OLD LION</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Lion, enfeebled by age and no longer able to procure food for
himself by force, determined to do so by cunning. Betaking himself
to a cave, he lay down inside and feigned to be sick: and whenever
any of the other animals entered to inquire after his health, he
sprang upon them and devoured them. Many lost their lives in this
way, till one day a Fox called at the cave, and, having a suspicion
of the truth, addressed the Lion from outside instead of going in,
and asked him how he did. He replied that he was in a very bad way:
"But," said he, "why do you stand outside? Pray come in." "I should
have done so," answered the Fox, "if I hadn't noticed that all the
footprints point towards the cave and none the other way."</p>
