Should 'being' be removed?
One day, the fox was being chased by a lion and it tried to flee for its life. Just when the fox was thinking, “Just a little more and the lion would be catching up to me,” it chanced upon a well just right in front and without hesitation, it jumped into the well. The lion which was chasing its prey saw the depth of the well and realised that it would not be able to enter it. The lion had no choice but to give up on its prey, which was almost within its reach and left. The fox heaved a sigh of relief and thought, “I was saved”.
