The Old Lion 늙은 사자 이솝우화

A Lion, no longer able to get food by force, de­ termined to do so by cunning.

He lay down inside a cave and pretended to be sick, and when any other animals came to inquire after his health, he sprang upon them and ate them.

Many lost their lives, till one day a Fox came and, suspecting the truth, called the Lion from outside instead  of going in.

The Lion said that he was in a very bad way. "But," said he,  "why do you  stand outside?  Pray  come in."

"I would do so," answered the Fox, "if l hadn't seen that all  the footprints point into the cave but none come  out."

 

 

Your own eyes may be your best witness.
