<h2>THE FOXES AND THE RIVER</h2>
<br/>
<p>A number of Foxes assembled on the bank of a river and wanted to
drink; but the current was so strong and the water looked so deep
and dangerous that they didn't dare to do so, but stood near the
edge encouraging one another not to be afraid. At last one of them,
to shame the rest, and show how brave he was, said, "I am not a bit
frightened! See, I'll step right into the water!" He had no sooner
done so than the current swept him off his feet. When the others
saw him being carried down-stream they cried, "Don't go and leave
us! Come back and show us where we too can drink with safety." But
he replied, "I'm afraid I can't yet: I want to go to the seaside,
and this current will take me there nicely. When I come back I'll
show you with pleasure."</p>
