The
Fox who profited from the Tiger's might
While hunting for prey, the tiger
caught a fox.
You
can't eat me ! said the fox. The Emperor of Heaven appointed
me king of the beasts. If you eat me you'll be disobeying
his orders. If you don't believe me, follow me.You will soon
see whether the other animals run away at the sight of me or
not.
Agreeing
to this, the tiger accompanied him ; and all the beasts saw
them they dashed
away. Not realizing that
they were afraid of him, the tiger thought they were afraid
of the fox.

If
you dash somewhere, you run or go there quickly and
suddenly. |
