Sham S.Misri
Lion the king of the jungle one day thought of having an ass for his dinner. The lion told his assistant, the Fox, to bring one ass for him for dinner. The fox went in search of an ass. Finally, when the fox found one ass, he told him,”The king of the forest, the Lion, wishes to discuss a marriage alliance with you.”
“A royal alliance!” exclaimed the ass, unable to contain his excitement.
“I would be honoured to come with you,” the ass said to the fox.
As soon as they reached the lion’s den, the lion pounced on the ass and knocked him down.
“Keep a watch over my dinner while I take a nap,” the lion told the fox.
The cunning fox kept a watch for a while. He got tempted to eat ass’s brain. He quickly took out the ass’s brain and ate it before the lion could wake up.
After some time the lion woke up and immediately began to eat the ass. He looked all over the ass’s brain and when he could not find it, he grew suspicious.
The lion roared,”Fox, did you eat the ass’s brain!”
The quick witted fox replied, “Master, the ass did not have a brain. Only brainless ass would believe in a royal alliance!”
“That is true,” said the lion, laughing in agreement.
