Once upon a time there was a Lion in the forest. This lion has a Fox as his assistant. The lion goes to hunt and give a share of his hunt to the fox. One day the lion had a fight with Elephant in which the lion had badly wounded. Because of this he could not move his step ahead. So hunting was not at all possible for him. The lion was almost starving to death and this effected fox too.
Finally one day the lion thought of a solution. He said to the fox "Oh fox! you are very smart. Persuade an animal and bring him here. Then with one single blow I will kill that animal". Hearing lion's words the fox left in search of a foolish animal. He wandered far and wide but he did not find a foolish animal in the forest.
After sometime the fox reached to a village. There he saw a donkey gracing around. By seeing him the fox's eyes let up. The fox greeted donkey "Hey donkey! there is no green grass here. Then what are you gracing on? Does n't your owner give you enough food to eat?". For the first time someone was talking politely and showing concern to the donkey. With the heavy heart the donkey said "what can I say fox? I can't lift as much weight as I used to. So my owner does n't give enough food to satisfy my hunger". The fox showed sympathy towards donkey "my friend why don't you come with me to the jungle? Oh there is lot of green and juicy grass in the jungle. The donkey said "But there are wild animals also in the jungle". Hearing this the fox became cautious and said "now don't worry at all about the wild animals. You know the lion king has sent me here. Our king has thought of saving all animals who live in the village from the injustice by the men. The king has decided he will protect all the animals who live in the village and give them place in the jungle. Also he has decided to make you a minister".
Hearing this great news, the donkey was delighted and he immediately got ready to go with the fox. The fox took him to the lion immediately. The poor lion was hungry since many days. He was happy to see a prey. The donkey was far and the lion tried to bounce on him. The donkey was stunned. He ran away from there immediately. The poor lion was left with nothing because his plan had failed so badly. The fox also felt terrible about it and told "Oh king! why you have show your heist? You should have attacked only after it came close. Never mind. I will get the donkey back here. You don't worry at all". Saying this the fox left from there. Since the lion lost his prey he was very sad and started thinking "that donkey was run away from here. Why will he come back?"
Just then the fox reaches the donkey. He started reassuring the donkey "really you have no brain at all. The king of the jungle came forward to welcome you and you scared of him and ran from there. How can a coward like you be a minister? If the king really wanted to kill you, would you be able to run? Tell me where would you have run for life? If the king would have chased you, would you be alive? You would have died as soon as he would bounce on you. Now come come. Come on its yet not late. Come with me. You still have a chance. I will explain to the king that he should make only you his minister. Come with me. Come come". Saying the fox brought the donkey to the line and took him to the lion.
This time the lion did not show any heist. He let the donkey come close. He then bounced on the donkey and killed him. The lion said to the fox "You keep watching him. I have n't had a bath in many days. I will go and bath before I sit to eat". By saying this to the fox the lion leaved to the nearby pond. The fox was very hungry. He could see a feast infront of him. He could not resist. He thought for a while and divert the brain and heart of the donkey. After sometime the lion finished his bath and came back. When he saw, he wondered the brain and heart of the donkey was missing. The lion was very angry. He roared very loudly. He asked the fox very angrily "what is this fox? I can't see the brain and heart of the donkey. Why is it so?". The fox said cheekily "Oh king! If this donkey had a brain and a heart, then would he come back to us to die? Oh king! the donkey didn't have a brain and a heart".
