The man said: "The farther we seek to go from the world and its cares, the more they multiply!"
The Tiger, the Fox, and the Hunters
A Fox was once caught in a trap. A hungry Tiger saw him and said, "So you are here!"
"Only on your account," said the Fox, in a whisper.
"How so?" said the Tiger.
"Why, you were complaining you could not get men to eat, so I got into this net to-day, that you may have the men when they come to take me," said the Fox, and gave a hint that if the Tiger would wait a while in a thicket close by, he would point out the men to him.
"May I depend upon your word?" said the Tiger.
"Certainly," said the Fox.
The hunters came, and, seeing the Fox in the net, said: "So you are here!"
"Only on your account," said the Fox, in a whisper.
