Then the Fox said to the Tiger and the men, “Sir Tiger, here are the men; gentlemen, here is the Tiger.”
The men left the Fox and turned to the Tiger. The former beat a hasty retreat to the wood, saying, “I have kept my promise to both; now you may settle it between yourselves.”
The Tiger exclaimed, when it was too late, “Alas! what art for a double part!”
THE SEA, THE FOX, AND THE WOLF
By Ramaswami Raju
A fox that lived by the seashore once met a Wolf that had never seen the Sea. The Wolf said, “What is the Sea?”
“It is a great piece of water by my dwelling,” said the Fox.
“Is it under your control?” said the Wolf.
“Certainly,” said the Fox.
“Will you show me the Sea, then?” said the Wolf.
