ALWAYS STAY AL
Once upon a time, there was a lion that grew so old that he was unable to kill any prey for his food. So, he said to himself, I must do something
to stay my stomach else I will die of starvation. He kept thinking and thinking and at last, an idea clicked him. He decided to lie down in the cave
pretending to be ill and then who-so-ever will come to inquire about his health, will become his prey. The old lion put his wicked plan into
practice and it started working; many of his well-wishers got killed. But evil is short lived.
One day, a fox came to visit the ailing lion. As foxes are clever by nature, the fox stood at the mouth of the cave and looked about. His
sixth sense worked and he came to know the reality. So, he called out to the lion from outside and said, How are you, sir?
The lion replied: "I am not feeling well at all. But why don't you come inside? Then the fox replied, I would love to come in, sir! But on
seeing, all footprints going to your cave and none coming out, I would be foolish enough to come in. Saying so, the fox went to alert the other
animals.

1)

If the lion did not stay his stomach, he would have died of starvation.

2)

The lion's idea was considered good because by pretending to be ill, he was able to attract well-wishers who would come to inquire about his health. These well-wishers would then become his prey, providing him with food despite his inability to hunt.

3)

The fox's sixth sense  and cleverness made him suspicious, and he sensed something was not right.

The fox observed that there were footprints leading to the cave but none coming out, indicating that those who entered did not leave alive.

4)

By answering the fox from outside the cave, the lion revealed his true intentions and failed to lure the fox inside. It could be considered a mistake on the lion's part.

5)

If the fox were the first well-wisher and had not seen any footprints leading to the cave, it is likely that he would have entered. However, considering the fox's cleverness and intuition, it is possible that he still would have been cautious and suspicious, leading him to investigate further before entering the cave.
