Reading Notes: The Fox and the Horse

-A farmer had a horse that had grown old and weak so he turned it out of the stable
-while the horse was seeking a shelter in the woods, he met a fox who asked him why he was so sad
-the horse tells the fox that his master will not take him back unless he becomes stronger than a lion
-the fox told the horse to pretend to be dead
-the fox went to the lion and told it of a dead horse
-the fox says the lion can eat the horse more comfortably in his cave so he ties the horse to the lion
-the fox managed to tie his legs together
-the fox then told the horse to go
-the horse dragged the lion back to his masters house
-his master relented and took care of him till the end of his life
