A tiger was searching the forest for animals to eat. One day it seized a fox. The fox told the tiger, “You should not eat me, because I have been sent to this forest by God to be the leader of all the animals. If you should dare defy God by eating, disaster will befall you at once.  If you don’t believe me, let’s give it a try. I’ll walk in front, and you follow me. You will see that all the animals run at sight of me.”

Thinking the fox quite  reasonable, the tiger followed  it into the forest. All the animals fled at sight of them.  The tiger didn’t realize that it was what had scared them away.
