The
Lioness
A Fox was boasting to a Lioness. “You
should see my four pretty cubs!” she said, “I had them all at once, you know?
And what about you? How many cubs do you have?”
“I have only one,” replied the Lioness
gently, “but that one is a Lion.”
The
Wild Boar and the Fox
A Wild Boar was sharpening his tusks
against a tree one day when a Fox came by.
“What are you doing that for?” asked the
Fox. “There are no hunters around. Everything looks very peaceful to me.”
“Quite true,” said the Boar, “but when the
hunter does come with his dogs, I shall be too busy running away to have time
for this. So, let me sharpen my tusks while I can.”
