Do Not be Over Clever

The Clever Cat and the Vain Fox

One day, a cat and a fox happened to meet in a forest. The fox said to the cat, "Good morning, where are you off to? Let's have a chat. It's all safe here". The cat stopped and greeted the fox and said, "Mr. fox, I think it is not safe to stop here for long. I usually see hunters about here." The fox said, "Oh, never mind the hunters. I know tricks to dodge the hunters. Do you also know any such trick"? The cat said, "I only know how to climb a tree at the time of danger." The fox was vain and looked at the cat with contempt. He said, "Ah! Poor soul, you are.” How can you escape death if your single trick fails? Shall I teach you some sure tricks?"

Just then the cat saw a hunter approaching with a pack of hounds. It said, "Look! there are  hounds. Good bye." It climbed up the nearest tree and cleverly saved her life. The hounds came upon the vain fox very soon. The fox ran for his life but the hounds overtook him before long and tore him into pieces.
