33.The Big Snake and the Fox

A REDTAILED boa snake boasted very much of his philanthropy, saying that of all animals he was the most tender in his regard for man, for he had such respect for him that he would not even touch his dead body. A fox hearing these words said with a smile to the boa,

“Oh! That you would eat the dead and not the living.”

Go just for looking respectable, and repent at leisure.
