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."
