Summoned and Tricked, the Bear Falls for the Trap

1． The Lion King sent the Bear to summon Reynard the Fox to court for judgment.

2． The Bear arrived dusty and tired at Reynard’s door, shouting, “By royal order—come with me at once!”

3． But Reynard lay groaning in bed, pretending to be ill. “My stomach hurts... I’m too sick to move...”

4． The Bear helped him walk, still doubtful. Soon Reynard clutched his belly and cried, “Oh no, I ate too much honey!”

5． At the word “honey,” the Bear’s mouth began to water. “What did you say? Where’s that honey?”

6． Reynard’s eyes gleamed. “It’s nearby. I’ll take you there and you can eat all you want!”

7． He led the Bear into the woods and pointed at a cracked old tree. “Look! The honey is inside this tree crack.”

8． The Bear believed him and shoved his whole head into the gap to lick the “honey.”

9． But Reynard had smeared resin along the crack—instantly, the Bear’s head got stuck.

10． Just then, a nearby farmer heard the noise and came running with a stick to catch the bear.

11． The Bear panicked and struggled hard. He finally pulled his head out but tumbled toward the riverbank.

12． With a splash, he fell into the water, soaked and humiliated.

13． Meanwhile, Reynard had already slipped away, leaving behind only a faint laugh in the distance.
