The Lion, The Mouse, And The Fox
Aesop Fable: The Lion, The Mouse, And The Fox
A lion, fatigued by the heat of a summer’s day, fell fast
asleep in his den. A Mouse ran over his mane and ears and
woke him from his slumbers.
He rose up and shook himself
in great wrath, and searched every corner of his den to
find the Mouse.
A Fox seeing him said: "A fine Lion you are,
to be frightened of a Mouse."
"It is not the Mouse I fear," said the Lion; "I resent his
familiarity and ill-breeding."
Little liberties are great offenses.
