The Fox and the Lion
A very young fox,
who had never before seen a lion, happened to meet one in the forest. A
single look was enough to send the fox off at top speed for the nearest
hiding place.
The second time the fox saw the lion he stopped behind a tree to look at him a moment before slinking away. But the third time, the fox went boldly up to the lion and, without turning a hair, said, "Hello, there, old top."
Familiarity breeds contempt. Acquaintance with evil blinds us to its dangers.
