The Donkey, The Rooster, And The Lion
Aesop Fable: The Donkey, The Rooster, And The Lion
A Donkey and a Rooster were in a straw-yard together when a
Lion, desperate from hunger, approached the spot. He was
about to spring upon the Donkey, when the Rooster (to the sound
of whose voice the Lion, it is said, has a singular aversion)
crowed loudly, and the Lion fled away as fast as he could.
The Donkey, observing his trepidation at the mere crowing of a
Rooster summoned courage to attack him, and galloped after
him for that purpose. He had run no long distance, when
the Lion, turning about, seized him and tore him to pieces.
False confidence often leads into danger.
