Long ago, there was a village. The people of the village were terrified of a lion, which kept coming to their village and ate up their animals. One day,, the villagers called a hunter. They told the hunter to kill the lion. Now, the hunter was not a very brave man himself. But he put on a brave front and went to the forest searching for the tracks of the lion. There, he met a man who was cutting trees. He asked the man if he had seen the lion tracks or where the lion lived. The man replied, “I will show you the lion himself.” The hunter got scared at the thought of facing the lion. He replied in a shaky voice, “No, thank you. I only asked to see the tracks of the lion, not the lion himself.”
