The Wolf and the Fox
A Wolf was running from the dogs, and wanted to hide in a cleft. But a Fox was lying in the cleft; she showed her teeth at the Wolf, and said:—
“You cannot come in here; this is my place.”
The Wolf did not stop to dispute the matter, but merely said:—
“If the dogs were not so near, I would teach you whose place it is; but now the right is on your side.”
