Away with you, vile insect!, said a Lion angrily to a Gnat that was buzzing around his head. 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. 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. There another unpleasant surprise awaited him. The Hare now ran his swiftest, but he could not overtake the Tortoise in time.
Do not depend on the promises of those whose interest it is to deceive you.
