The Story - The Sick Lion and the Fox

 


One day an old lion realized that he was too old to hunt for food. The lion was sure he would soon die. He was very sad and went home. As he walked slowly home, the lion told a bird about his sad situation.

Soon everyone in the forest heard about the lion’s situation. The other animals all felt sorry for the lion. So one by one, they came to visit the lion.

The lion was old weak, but very wise. As each animal came into his home, they were easy to catch and eat. Soon the old lion became happy and fat.

One day, early in the morning, the fox came. The fox was very wise too. He slowly came close to the lion’s home. Standing outside, he asked if the lion was feeling better.

Hello, my best friend,” said the lion. “Is it you? I can’t see you very well. You are so far away. Come closer please and tell me some kind words because I am old and will die soon.”

While the lion was talking, the fox was looking closely at the ground in front of the lion’s house. Finally the fox looked up and said to the lion, “I am sorry but i must go. I am very nervous because i see the footsteps of many animals going into your home, but i see none coming out again!”

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
