The Dogs and the Fox
Three hundred Aesop’s fables Translated by George Fyler Townsend · Aesop
SOME DOGS, finding the skin of a lion, began to tear it in pieces with their teeth. A Fox, seeing them, said, “If this lion were alive, you would soon find out that his claws were stronger than your teeth.”
It is easy to kick a man that is down.
