A fox,observing a fish cart coming, lay down and pretended to be dead.
The cart man,tempted by the idea of selling the fox’s fur, picked up the animal and flung it among the fish.
The fox ate the fish and jumped out happily.
A wolf saw him jumping out and questioned him.
Then the wolf ran ahead of the cart and lay down in its path,pretending to be dead.
The cart man was delighted to find another animal to sell,but he found the animal was too heavy to lift.
So he pushed it into a sack,tied the sack to his cart and dragged it away.
‘’Oh, the wolf didn’t have the fish and lost his life.He is so miserable,‘’thought the fox.
‘’It seems that the food got by my own effort is safer,‘’ the fox said and jumped into the woods.
