A sheep was passing and saw a lion crying inside a cage trapped, the lion begged the sheep to rescue him with a promise not to kill and eat it, but the sheep refused.. After much persuasion and for the sheep's gullibility, it opened the cage for the lion._*
*_Now the lion was very hungry having stayed in the cage for days without food.. It quickly pounced on the sheep and was about to kill and eat it, but the sheep reminded him of his promise._*
*_They were still there arguing when other animals came passing and they sought to know what happened.. Both the lion and the sheep narrated their own side of the story, but because of fear and in trying to gain Favour in the sight of the lion, all the animals took side with the lion except the Tortoise who claimed not to understand the whole scenario._*
*_Now the Tortoise asked the lion to show them where exactly he was before the sheep rescued him, The lion pointed at the cage.. Tortoise asked again, "were you inside or outside when the sheep arrived"??... The lion replied, "I was inside"._*
*_The tortoise again asked, "Okay, enter and let’s see how difficult it could be inside bcoz I'm not getting the whole scenario".. The lion entered, and immediately, the tortoise locked the cage.. The lion was now trapped!!_*
*_In amazement, the other animals asked tortoise "why" and tortoise replied.. "If we allow him to eat the sheep today, He will still go hungry tomorrow and we don't know the next amongst us to be eaten tomorrow.!!_*
*MORAL OF THE TALE‼️*
*_DON'T SUPPORT EVIL TODAY BECAUSE IT DOESN'T AFFECT YOU DIRECTLY, TOMORROW IT COULD BE YOUR TURN.!!_*
