336.The Wild Boar and the Fox
A WILD BOAR stood under a tree and rubbed his tusks against the trunk. A fox passing by asked him why he thus sharpened his teeth when there was no danger threatening from either huntsman or hound. He replied,
“I do it advisedly; for it would never do to have to sharpen my weapons just at the time I ought to be using them.”
❖ In fair weather prepare for foul.
