A
One day，a tiger was looking for something to eat. Suddenly he met a fox and caught him. The tiger said，“I’m hungry. I will eat you up.” The fox said，“No，you can’t. Because I am the king of the animals.”
“Really? I don’t think so，” said the tiger.
“You don’t believe me? Let’s go and try，” said the fox.
Then they went for a walk in the forest. All the animals ran away when they saw the tiger and the fox. “Oh，you are right. You are really the king of the animals. All the animals are afraid of you，” said the tiger. Then he went away. The fox laughed，“The tiger is so stupid. In fact，the animals are afraid of him，not me!”

2. 根据老虎的话语“Really? I don’t think so，”可知，老虎一开始不相信狐狸是动物之王，该句表述正确。
3. 根据短文最后狐狸说的“In fact，the animals are afraid of him，not me!”可知，动物害怕的是老虎，不是狐狸，该句表述错误。
4. 根据短文“Then he went away.”可知，老虎最后离开了，没有吃掉狐狸，该句表述正确。
5. 狐狸通过欺骗老虎，让老虎误以为动物害怕自己，从而保住了性命，说明狐狸很聪明，该句表述正确。
