00:00Once upon a time, in a dense forest, there lived a mighty lion. In his younger days,
00:06he was very strong and feared by all animals. But as he grew old, he became weak and could no
00:15longer hunt. One day, the old lion thought, if I cannot run and hunt anymore, I must find another
00:24way to get food. He came up with a clever trick. He lay down near the path, pretending to be sick
00:32and weak. A traveler was passing through the forest. When he saw the lion lying helplessly,
00:39he felt sorry for him. The lion said in a weak voice, Oh dear man, I am very ill. Please come
00:48closer. I need some help. The traveler thought for a moment, but then noticed something unusual.
00:56He saw that many footprints were going into the cave of the lion, but none were coming out.
01:03He immediately understood the lion's trick. The traveler said, Old lion, I may be foolish if I
01:10come near you. Your footprints tell me the truth. Many have gone inside, but none have come out.
01:19You only pretend to be sick to catch your prey. Saying this, the traveler quickly walked away
01:27and saved his life. Moral of the story, wise people learn from signs and do not fall into traps.
01:34Presence of danger can be known if we observe carefully.
