Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den

There once was a story called "The Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den". In this story, there was a poet who lived inside a den made of stone. This den was so special that even a lion couldn't break in!

The poet was very hungry one day and wanted to eat some meat, but he didn't have any. Luckily, a big, scary lion came by and offered to give the poet some meat. However, the poet was clever and wanted to play a trick on the lion.

He said, "Sure, you can give me meat to eat, but first, let me write a poem about you. I need to observe your every detail to make the poem perfect." The lion was flattered and agreed, so he posed for the poet while he wrote his poem.

The poem the poet wrote was very long and contained every single detail about the lion, including his sharp claws and teeth. However, there was a twist in the poem's ending.

The poem ended with the words "The End," but when you read the words backwards, they read "Den in Stones eats Lion". The lion realized too late what was happening and was eaten by the den!

So, that is the story of "The Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den." It's a great story about the power of words and the cleverness of people.
