One fine day , a dirty pig was soaking himself in a pool . A thirsty lion came to drink water , but unable to bear the heavy stench went away . The foolish pig thought that the lion was afraid of him and excitedly challenged him to a duel . “ Maybe tomorrow ,” replied the lion and turned away from the smelly pig . The pig went home and told his parents how he had challenged a coward lion . “ What have you done you , foolish pig ? It's not you but your stench that made him run away ,” explained his father . The dirty pig's excitement crashed instantly . His father suggested that he should leisurely roll in the dirty water so that he might stink even more and then meet the lion . The pig listened to his father . As soon as the lion approached him , the foul smell spread around , and he ran away unable to bear it . Since then , pigs always keep themselves dirty so that no animal might come near them .
