The Fox and the Tiger -- A Tale of False Bravado

Once upon a time, a sly fox stumbled upon a tiger in the forest. The fox was quick to act, boasting loudly of its strength and bravery. The tiger, taken aback by the fox's false bravado, was convinced of its power and allowed the fox to have its way.

The fox, emboldened by its success, continued to play the part of a strong and fearsome predator, even going as far as to impose its will on other animals. But eventually, the tiger discovered the truth and confronted the fox.

The fox, now powerless in front of the tiger, begged for mercy and promised to never act out of line again. The tiger, wise to the fox's game, let it go with a stern warning.

From that day on, the fox knew better than to pretend to be

something it was not. It learned that true strength comes not from bravado, but from genuine courage and respect.
