There was a Hunter who was not very confident, was searching for the footsteps of a Lion.
He asked a man felling oaks in the forest if he had seen any marks of his footsteps or knew where his lair was.
"I will at once show you the Lion himself", said the man.
The Hunter, turning very pale and chattering
with his teeth from fear, replied, "No, thank
you. I did not ask that; I am in search of his
footsteps only, not the Lion himself."
Moral: The hero is brave in deeds as
well as words.
