The Swollen Fox
Aesop Fable: The Swollen Fox
A very hungry fox, seeing some bread and meat left by
shepherds in the hollow of an oak, crept into the hole and
made a hearty meal. When he finished, he was so full that
he was not able to get out, and began to groan and lament
his fate.
Another Fox passing by heard his cries, and coming
up, inquired the cause of his complaining. On learning
what had happened, he said to him, "Ah, you will have to
remain there, my friend, until you become such as you were
when you crept in, and then you will easily get out."
