SECTION C: COMPREHENSION

Once upon a time, there was a lion that grew so old that he was unable to kill any prey for his food. He then said to himself, "I must do something or else I will die of hunger."

He kept thinking and thinking and at last an idea struck his mind. He decided to lie down in the cave pretending to be ill and then whoever would come to inquire about his health, would become his prey. The old lion put his wicked plan into practice and it started working. Many of his well-wishers got killed. But evil is short lived.

One day, a fox came to visit the ailing lion. As foxes are clever by nature, the fox stood at the mouth of the cave and looked around. His sixth sense worked and he came to know the reality. He called out to the lion from outside and said, "How are you, sir?"

The lion replied, "I am not feeling well at all. But why don't you come inside?"
Then the fox replied, "I would love to come in, sir! But on seeing, all foot prints going to your cave and none is coming out, I would be foolish enough to come in." Saying so, the fox went to alert the other animals.
