A hunter is looking for the footsteps (腳印) of a lion.
He meets a man. He is cutting trees in the woods. He thinks that this man is a woodman (伐木工), and that
he can tell him if he sees any of a lion's footsteps or knows where his lair (獸窩) is. "I will," says the man,
"show you the lion himself." The hunter turns very pale. He answers, "No, thank you. I do not ask that; I am
only looking for his footsteps, not the lion himself."
