3. What does the fox tell the lion that causes the lion to trust the fox? a) The lion should lie down and wait for the fox to return.
b) The horse is dead.
c) Horse meat is delicious.
d) The lion should eat his meal in comfort.

Explanation:

C. (Horse-meat is delicious) is WRONG!!

The correct answer is A, The lion should lay down. This is a verified answer since it was correct in my lesson. In the folk tale, an old farmer kicks out his horse, because the horse has grown too old to be of use. The farmer says that if the horse can bring back a live lion, he can return. Of course, this would normally end up with the horse getting eaten by the lion. However, the horse's friend, the fox, helps trick the lion so that the horse is able to tie him up and bring him back to the farmer. The horse is allowed to live out the rest of his days with the farmer since he has proved himself. No eating of horses occurs in this story, contrary to the other person's answer.
