A Lion, an Ass, and a Fox were hunting in company, and caught a large quantity of game. Then he turned to the Fox. You divide it, he roared angrily. Show me a white paw, he said, or I won't let you in. A white paw, of course, is a feature few Wolves can show, and so Master Wolf had to go away as hungry as he had come. they cried. I have eaten goats and bulls and stags. So the Wolf spoke very humbly to the Dog, complimenting him on his fine appearance. He would not honor the fool with even so much as a stroke of his claws.
Good will is worth nothing unless it is accompanied by good acts.
