90. THE PEACOCK AND THE FOX

Once a fox was wandering in a forest. He saw a beautiful peacock sitting on the branch of a tree at a considerable height: ‘How can I have this peacock for my meal, thought the fox to himself. He knew, he could not climb up the tree to kill the peacock.

 

Applying his stratagem, the fox said to the peacock, “How is it that you are sitting in the tree? Don’t you know that it has been decided in a meeting of animals today that from now an animals and birds will not kill each other for food. Bigger fish will not eat smaller fish.”
