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."
