Kisah Sufi
The Lion and the Fox
“Fetch me something easy to kill!” the aged lion said to the fox who served him. The fox found a starving donkey. “You look hungry!” the fox said to the donkey. “I’ll show you a pasture of fresh green grass!” The donkey followed the fox, but the lion leaped too soon and the donkey escaped. “Come back!” said the fox. “That was just a lion-illusion conjured by a magician. There’s no lion.” So the fox persuaded the donkey to follow him again. This time, the lion caught the donkey and killed him, and both lion and fox enjoyed a feast. TINY T TALES ALES FROM THE SUFIS 195
