    Share Share Post
    A peasant had an old horse who had served him faithful. He was very old and was not able to work anymore.
    The peasant turned him out and told him if he was able to bring a lion home with him he would keep him as long as he lived.
    The horse went into the wood and remained there till he met his old friend the fox. The fox asked the horse why he was so sorrowful. The horse told him the whole story of what the happened.
    Then the fox told him to lie down and pretend to be dead and he would bring a lion.
