The Ass, the Fox, and the Lion
THE ASS and the Fox, having entered into
partnership together for their mutual protection,
went out into the forest to hunt. They
had not proceeded far when they met a Lion.
The Fox, seeing imminent danger, approached
the Lion and promised to contrive
for him the capture of the Ass if the Lion
would pledge his word not to harm the Fox.
Then, upon assuring the Ass that he would
not be injured, the Fox led him to a deep pit
and arranged that he should fall into it. The
Lion, seeing that the Ass was secured, immediately
clutched the Fox, and attacked the
Ass at his leisure.
