The Old Lion and the Fox
An old Lion lay dying in his cave. All the animals came to visit him. The Boar stabbed him with his tusks. The Bull gored him with his horns. Even the Donkey kicked him.
The Fox came last and stood far away.
The Lion asked, “Why don't you come closer like the others?”
The Fox replied, “Because I see too many footprints leading in—but none coming out.”
Moral: Be cautious when others fall into misfortune—you may be next.
