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."
