Once, a fox found the corpse of an elephant lying across a forest footpath. The fox thought to himself, "My long time wish to taste elephant meat is going to be over today." He hungrily got ready to eat the elephant, but could not bite the tough skin of the elephant corpse.
At that moment, he saw a lion coming that way. He ran to the lion and said, "Hey King of the forest, I want to taste elephant meat. I have seen a dead elephant. Can you tear it open for me?" The lion replied, "I am terribly sorry for you dear fox. I don't eat dead meat. Also, I don't eat leftover meat. And, I don't eat kills of other animals," and left the place. Now, the fox had to wait for some other bigger animal to come that way.
Soon, a tiger came that way. The need to taste elephant meat was very strong in the fox. He came with a plan. He ran to the tiger and humbly said, "Hey mighty tiger, I have seen an elephant sleeping nearby. You alone can kill it now." The tiger wanted to show off that he was strong. He happily agreed and followed the fox. When they neared the elephant, the fox stealthily walked and whispered, "There lies the elephant. Go and kill it, mighty tiger. Not knowing that the elephant was already dead, the tiger attacked and ripped open the elephant. When the tiger was about to eat, the fox started shouting, "Lion, lion, lion..." The tiger sprawled away from that place. The fox satisfied his long time wish.
Moral: IF THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY!!!
