The Ass, the Fox, and the Lion: Aesops's Fables


The Ass, the Fox, and the Lion 
 
 
THE ASS and the Fox, having entered into partnership
together for their mutual protection, went out
into the forest to hunt.
 
They had not proceeded far when they met a Lion. 
 
 The Fox, seeing imminent danger, approached the
Lion and promised to contrive for him the capture
of the Ass if the Lion would pledge his word not
to harm the Fox.
 
 Then, upon assuring the Ass that he would not be
injured, the Fox led him to a deep pit and
arranged that he should fall into it.
 
The Lion, seeing that the Ass was secured,
immediately clutched the Fox, and
attacked the Ass at his leisure.
 
 
The lesson: Never ever ever ever ever ever
ever ever ever trust your enemy (even
when they are nice to you and seem to be
pleasantly comfortable dealing with people
like you)!
 
 
If a person is your real friend, when they do
something bad to you they repent and try to
make it up to you in some kind of way.
 
If they don’t then they are just acting. 
 
They are not your friend at all. 
 
They are just a faker. 
 
Remember that for your own sake!

Wise words being spoken.

so I gues the saying " the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is out of the question. I remember reading Aesop's fables in elementary school, he has some really good life lessons.
I like the "sour grapes" fable. (not sure if thats the title, but that was the lesson)
