in but none of them seemed to come out. So he decided not to

get into the cave. He called out the lion from outside the cave
and said, “How are you, sir?”

come inside? I’m really missing you my friend.”

missing my flesh not my company.” The fox went back and said

it to all the other animals. No animals then went to visit the
lion. Evil is short lived; the lion died of starvation.
