ee 3

Once a barber was going through a forest. The forest was full of wild animals. He was afraid. Suddenly, all his fears came true. A fierce lion came and stood before him. But the barber did not lose heart. He gathered all his courage and went to the Lion. He said, “Ah! So, here you are. I was looking for you for a long time.” The lion was surprised at the barber’s words. The lion asked, “But why were you searching for me?” The barber replied, “The king had asked me to catch two lions. I have already caught one of them. And you will be the next one.” Saying this, the barber showed a mirror to the lion. The Lion saw his own reflection, but thought it to be another lion. So, the Lion ran away to save his life. And the wise barber went on his way.
