Aesop's Fables, Part 267 summary
Part 267 of 284 · 2 min to read the part
In The Lion, the Fox, and the Stag, a sick Lion sends the Fox to lure the Stag into his den with a false promise of kingship. The Stag escapes one attack but accepts another deception and returns, allowing the Lion to kill him and the Fox to steal his brains.
What happens
- The sick Lion asks the Fox to bring the Stag to his den so he can eat him.
- The Fox claims that the dying Lion chooses the Stag as king, and the flattered Stag follows him.
- The Lion mistimes his attack, and the Stag escapes to the wood with torn ears.
- The Fox persuades the angry Stag that the Lion only wants to share secrets and might choose the Wolf instead.
- The Stag returns, and the Lion kills and eats him while the Fox secretly takes his brains.
- When the Lion searches for the brains, the Fox argues that returning twice proves the Stag has none.
