My first and my last ?An Indian farmer and his child were toiling in the fields. It was almost dark by the time they had finished their work and the farmer said to the child, Wow! Its getting dark! Quickly pack up the tools and run. Lets run quickly! Relax. Were not far from home and we know the way home.Why are you in such a panic? asked the child. Theres something you dont know. Im not afraid of tigers or lions. Im only afraid of the night. answered the farmer。 ?It so happened that a lion was hiding nearby and overheard their conversation. Whats this thing called the night? How could it be more fearful than I am? I must find out about it. ?Then darkness fell and the farmer couldnt see nearby objects clearly. He only saw an animal approaching, thought it was the donkey he had recently lost, and beat the lion several times, saying, Ive been looking for you all day. Where have you been? How dare you come back so late? ?This is the end of me, the lion thought with regret. How could I have been so stupid as to come so close to this thing called the night that beat me just now? Its really horrifying. What should I do now? the farmer again slapped it several times, urging it to go home with him. ?Early the next morning, On the way, another lion passed by and found it hilarious to see a lion obediently following a farmer. the lion asked, What are you doing? Why are you walking behind this man? ?Shh! Keep your voice down and leave quickly. Dont you know that this being walking in front is something called the night. Hes very terrible. Last night, he beat me and shackled me, leaving me cold and starving the entire night. I have no idea where hes taking me now. Run along or your life will be in danger! ?After hearing this story, the other lion said, Youre incredible. You idiot! Youre a lion, the king of animals! Youve been deceived! Just roar at him now and youll know who is more terrifying. The lion accepted his advice and roared loudly, so the farmer took a closer look.
