let me tell you a short story about a lion. once a poor negro found that a lion was following him, as he was walking along through the woods. the lion was watching for a chance to spring upon him. the man was very much frightened, but walked swiftly along till he came to a very steep bank; here he quickly placed his hat and cloak on a bush, to make it look like a man, and then he crept away. the lion, thinking it was the man, was silly enough to spring upon the cloak, and tumbled on the rocks below.
