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.
