<h2>THE FOX AND THE MONKEY</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Fox and a Monkey were on the road together, and fell into a
dispute as to which of the two was the better born. They kept it up
for some time, till they came to a place where the road passed
through a cemetery full of monuments, when the Monkey stopped and
looked about him and gave a great sigh. "Why do you sigh?" said the
Fox. The Monkey pointed to the tombs and replied, "All the
monuments that you see here were put up in honour of my
forefathers, who in their day were eminent men." The Fox was
speechless for a moment, but quickly recovering he said, "Oh! don't
stop at any lie, sir; you're quite safe: I'm sure none of your
ancestors will rise up and expose you."</p>
