A group of people was camping in a forest. By evening, they suddenly realised that they had no food left for dinner. A man said, “I will bring some fresh meat. We can make a bonfire and roast it.” He took a club and went to the lake thinking that animals would come to drink water. He lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. After some time, some foxes came to the lake. The fox chief said, “I will check if this man is pretending to be dead.” So, the fox pulled the man’s club, cautiously. The man pulled back his club, at once and quickly threw his club at the fox. Unfortunately, he missed his aim. He looked for the other foxes, but everybody had run far away. The man thought, ‘I tried to play a trick on the animals, but the cunning fox played a better trick on me!’
