The Donkey, The Fox, And The Lion
Aesop Fable: The Donkey, The Fox, And The Lion
The Donkey and the Fox, having entered into partnership together
for their mutual protection, went out into the forest
to hunt. They had not proceeded far when they met a
Lion.
The Fox, seeing imminent danger, approached the Lion
and promised to contrive for him the capture of the Donkey if
the Lion would pledge his word not to harm the Fox. Then,
upon assuring the Donkey that he would not be injured, the
Fox led him to a deep pit and arranged that he should fall
into it. The Lion, seeing that the Donkey was secured, immediately
clutched the Fox, and attacked the Donkey at his leisure.
