Fable 211 - The Lion and the Bull

A lion wanted to hunt down a bull, so he decided to use a trick to try and get hold of him. He told him that he had sacrificed a
sheep and he invited the bull to the feast, his intention being to kill him when he was reclining on his side to eat. The bull accepted
the invitation but, seeing the huge spits and giant cauldrons – but no sheep – he departed without saying a word. The lion reproached
him as to why, having suffered no harm, he left without reason.
‘Oh, I have my reason,’ said the bull. ‘I see no sign of your having slaughtered a sheep but I do see, very plainly, that you have made
every preparation for dining on beef.’

This fable shows that you should trust your own eyes rather than sweet words and reassurances.
