“I, child of my mother and father’s love,
I, mother and father’s love, I have not done it.”
All answered the same; but when he asked the little Fox, the little Fox
said—
“I, child of my mother and father’s love,
I, mother and father’s love, have tied thee!”
Then the Lion tore the rope made of sinews, and ran after the little
Fox. But the Jackal said—
“My boy, thou son of the lean Mrs. Fox, thou wilt never be caught.”
Truly the Lion was thus beaten in running by the little Fox.
