Once, there was a ferocious lion in a forest. One day, while chasing a deer, he lost his way and came upon a farm. The lion entered the farmyard. Upon seeing the lion, the farmer wished to catch him. Thinking so, he shut the gate of the farmyard. Seeing himself trapped, the lion got angry. He ate up all the farmer’s sheep. Next, he attacked the ox. The farmer got scared for his own safety. Quickly, he opened the gate. The lion immediately escaped. The farmer saw all the destruction that the lion had caused. He started crying loudly. His wife, who had been watching everything, said to him, “Serves you right, for how could you think that you could catch a lion when you know that you shake in your shoes if you only hear his roar at a distance?”
