The Fox and the Lion.A Fox who had never yet seen a Lion, when he fell in with him by acertain chance for the first time in the forest, was so frightened thathe was near dying with fear. On his meeting with him for the secondtime, he was still much alarmed, but not to the same extent as at first.On seeing him the third time, he so increased in boldness that he wentup to him, and commenced a familiar conversation with him. Acquaintance softens prejudices. From Aesop's Fables |
