Once upon a time in a village, there lived a Bullock. The village was hit with drought. Grass had withered, and there was scarcity for fodder. Hence, the bullock left the village and went to a far away forest. The forest was filled with grass and a lake was full of water. Bullock felt very happy. It ate the grass, drank water from the lake and lived in a cave, by the lake. Bullock became healthy and stout, as it had enough food and rest. One day, while it was resting by the cave, a lion came in that way. Upon seeing the stout and white animal, the lion said to itself, "wow!, I can have a feast today", and started to walk towards the Bullock. At the same time, the bullock also noticed the lion, and so, looked into the cave and said loudly, "look, don't prepare any thing for food, yet. I just saw a lion. I will get that, once it comes close. We shall cook and eat it". The lion got scared, it assumed that the bullock is some huge animal than him and ran away to save its life.
A fox watched the lion running and asked for the reason. The lion revealed, what happened. The fox said, "It is an ordinary bullock. You got scared for no reason. Lets go and hunt it down. I am hungry". The lion was apprehensive and saw the fox with suspicion. The fox said, "For your assurance, let us tie a rope to each of our legs". Fox started to walk before the lion, to make the lion believe it actions. On observing the fox that was approaching the cave, the bullock said with a loud voice, "hey Fox, why did you get only one lion when I asked for two. What will my children eat?". The lion got scared and started to run. As it was tied with a rope to fox leg, it dragged the fox along with it. In this way, the bullock smartly escaped and the Fox had to suffer severe bruises.
