The Wolf And The Fox
Aesop Fable: The Wolf And The Fox
At one time a very large and strong Wolf was born among
the wolves, who exceeded all his fellow-wolves in strength,
size, and swiftness, so that they unanimously decided to
call him "Lion." The Wolf, with a lack of sense proportioned
to his enormous size, thought that they gave him this name
in earnest, and, leaving his own race, consorted exclusively
with the lions.
An old sly Fox, seeing this, said, "May I
never make myself so ridiculous as you do in your pride
and self-conceit; for even though you have the size of a
lion among wolves, in a herd of lions you are definitely a wolf."
