Fable
The Wolf and His Shadow
A Wolf left his lair one evening in fine
spirits and an excellent appetite. As he ran, the setting sun cast his shadow
far out on the ground, and it looked as if the wolf were a hundred times bigger
than he really was.
"Why,"
exclaimed the Wolf proudly, "see how big I am! Fancy me running away from
a puny Lion! I'll show him who is fit to be king, he or I."
Just
then an immense shadow blotted him out entirely, and the next instant a Lion
struck him down with a single blow.
Moral
- Do not let your fancy make you forget realities.
