<h2>THE LION, THE MOUSE, AND THE FOX</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Lion was lying asleep at the mouth of his den when a Mouse ran
over his back and tickled him so that he woke up with a start and
began looking about everywhere to see what it was that had
disturbed him. A Fox, who was looking on, thought he would have a
joke at the expense of the Lion; so he said, "Well, this is the
first time I've seen a Lion afraid of a Mouse." "Afraid of a
Mouse?" said the Lion testily: "not I! It's his bad manners I can't
stand."</p>
