THE LION WITH BAD BREATH

The Lion was in a bad mood. That morning his wife, the Lioness, had told him that his breath smelled, and that perhaps he needed to do something about it. The Lion had pretended not to care, and had roared loudly and angrily just to show the Lioness who was king. Secretly though, he was worried. 

So as soon as the Lioness left the den to go about her day's work, the Lion called his three counselors - the Sheep, the Wolf and the Fox.

First he called the Sheep. 'Tell me, Sheep,' growled the Lion, 'do you think my breath smells?'

The Sheep thought the Lion wanted to know the truth. So she bowed low before the Lion and said, 'Your Majesty, your breath smells terrible. In fact, it smells so bad that it is making me feel quite ill.''

 

This was not what the Lion had wanted to hear. Roaring angrily, and calling the Sheep a fool, he pounced on her and bit her head off.

Then he called the Wolf. 'Tell me, Wolf,' growled the Lion sharpening his claws, 'do you think my breath smells?'

The Wolf had seen the dead Sheep on the way, and he had no plans to end up the same way. He bowed low before the Lion and said, 'Your Majesty! How can you ask me that? Your breath smells as sweet as the flowers in spring, as fresh as the...' 

He could not finish what he was going to say. 'Liar!' roared the Lion, and ripped him to pieces.

At last the Lion called the Fox. The Fox came warily; she had seen the dead Sheep and the dead Wolf on the way.

'Tell me, Fox,' growled the Lion, sharpening his claws and yawning widely so that the Fox could see his long sharp teeth, 'do you think my breath smells?'

The Fox coughed and sneezed and blew her nose, and then clearing her throat noisily, said in a hoarse whisper, 'Your Majesty, forgive me. I have such a nasty cold that I cannot smell a thing!'

NOW IN THE ABOVE STORY,

if sheep said truth but not the bitter one, than his life would be saved,
so, instead of saying truth,sheep made him to realize truth, by saying,  that sir, your  mouth may smell good also but,i am such a small animal is not able to judge you well, so sir please put your paw in front of your mouth and judge yourself that it smells good or bad, and we all fox ,me (sheep), and wolf are your counselors, if we fear to say truth to you than it is not possible for all three of us to counsel you in much better in future, than the wolf said sir i am really very sorry to you as, i showed you that i am not a good counselor, as i tried to hid truth , so please forgive me , i will not repeat this mistake in future. than the fox said sir, as we are your counselors but don,t even trust what we say, after hearing us try to visualize the situation than only you will became a lion king.


After hearing this, not even lion came to about his bed breath, but also got lesson  always think before doing and saying anything.
