The Dogs and the Fox
by
Aesop
Some Dogs found the skin of a Lion and furiously began to tear it with their teeth.
A Fox chanced to see them and laughed scornfully. “If that Lion had been alive,” he said, “it would have been a very different story.
He would have made you feel how much sharper his claws are than your teeth.”
It is easy and also contemptible to kick a man that is down.
