The Lion and the Bull

A strong lion and a big bull lived in a large forest. One day the lion invited the bull to a fine dinner. The lion said, "I will cook you wonderful mutton." The bull liked the kind invitation and said yes. In the evening the bull went happily to the lion's house.

Inside, the bull saw no mutton on the table. But huge pots and a big fire stood in the corner. The lion was making big knives and large pans ready. The bull saw this big work and became suspicious. The bull understood: the lion wanted to eat him.

He did not lose any time and walked to the door. The lion asked, "Why are you going, the food is not ready?" The bull said, "This big work is not for one sheep." The clever bull went away fast and saved his life. We must always be careful about clever traps. Water sleeps, but the enemy never sleeps.
