The lion wanted to eat the ox's meat, but could not defeat the ox.
Then he resorted to a trick - he invited the ox to his place for dinner and said to him:
“I slaughtered a sheep, come, let’s have lunch together.”
The ox believed and came. But, noticing huge bundles of firewood and large cast-iron boilers, he turned back.
Seeing the ox hastily leaving, the lion asked him:
- Why are you leaving?
“From everything I saw, it is clear that you are not going to roast a sheep, but an ox,” the ox answered.
The moral of this story is clear: you should never trust your enemy.
