A Lion, unable from old age and infirmities to provide himself with food by force, resolved to do so by artifice. He feigned sickness and lay in his den. The beasts, believing him to be dying, came one by one to condole with him—and each was seized and devoured. The Fox, however, mistrusted the show of weakness; he would not enter, but peered in at the doorway. Seeing only bones and the marks of many bites, he went away, saying, “I can plainly see that he is not sick, but greedy.”
Moral: Appearances may be deceptive; beware those who pretend weakness to trap you.
