As they got closer to the Lion's home, the Bull noticed something strange. There were sharp tools that looked like teeth scattered around, but there was no sheep in sight. "Where is the sheep?" the Bull asked, looking at the Lion with suspicion.
"Oh, it's just around the corner," the Lion answered, trying to stay calm.
But the Bull was not fooled. Realizing it was a trap, he decided to leave. "I'll come back another time," he said, turning around and walking back to the safety of the grasslands. And so, the Lion's clever plan failed, and the wise Bull lived to eat grass another day.
