When first the Fox saw the Lion he was terribly frightened, and ran away and hid
himself in the wood. Next time however he came near the King of Beasts he stopped at
a safe distance and watched him pass by. The third time they came near one another
the Fox went straight up to the Lion and passed the time of day with him, asking him
how his family were, and when he should have the pleasure of seeing him again; then
turning his tail, he parted from the Lion without much ceremony.
