A Lion and an Ass agreed to go hunting together. It is a chest of gold lost from some wreck, they cried. Chickens and Geese fell by the score--and the victor always stopped for a feast. When a man decides to do his own work and not depend on any one else, then you may be sure there will be no more delay. No doubt he was hungry, but that was not an excuse for stealing. 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. That's what I call real beauty.
Do not trust alone to outward appearances.
