The Fox, the Cockerel, and the Dog One moonlit night a Fox was prowling about a farmer's hen coop and saw a Cockerel roosting high up beyond his reach. "Good news, good news!" The fox cried."What news is that?" said the Cockerel."King Lion has declared a universal truce. No animal may hurt a bird from now on, we must all live together in brotherly and sisterly friendship.""That is good news," said the Cockerel; "and look! I see someone coming, we can tell him this good news, too!" The Cock craned his neck forward and looked into the distance. "What is it you see?" said the Fox. "It is my master's Dog, coming towards us!” Said the Cockerel. “What, going so soon?" he said, noticing the Fox had begun to run away as soon as he had heard who was coming. "Won’t you stay and tell the Dog about this new law of brotherly and sisterly friendship?" "I’d love to," said the Fox, "but I’m afraid that big dog may not have heard of King Lion's new law." And, the moral is… Cunning often outwits itself. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
