Once upon a time, an Ass and a Fox were strolling in the deep woods when they came across a mighty Lion. The Fox, shivering with fear, quickly thought of a plan to save himself at the cost of his friend.
"Oh, Great Lion," the Fox whispered, "see that plump Ass over there? He would make a tasty meal for you. There's a trap close by, and I can easily lead him into it."
The Lion agreed. The Fox cunningly guided the Ass into the trap and the Lion watched as the Ass fell in, unable to escape. Now confident of his dinner, the Lion turned his attention back to the Fox.
However, instead of rewarding the Fox, the Lion decided to start his feast with the traitorous Fox first, leaving the trapped Ass for a later meal. Thus, the Fox's plan backfired, and he found himself becoming the first course of the Lion's dinner.
Once upon a time, deep in a magical forest where you'd half-expect the trees to burst into song, an Ass and a Fox were taking a casual stroll. They were chit-chatting, talking about the coolest carrot styles and the yummiest berries, as you do.
Out of nowhere, they run into a Lion. This Lion was so fancy, his mane looked like it had its own hairstylist and his growl sounded like the loudest monster truck.
The Fox starts shaking like a leaf but then gets a bright idea. An idea not as bright as the sun, but more like a little flashlight.
"Hey, Mr. Big Mane," the Fox says, trying to sound calm and cool. "You see that Ass over there? He's like a walking snack bar. Way better than any fast food. Oh, and I know a perfect trap right around the corner!"
The Lion thinks it over, scratching his head like he's figuring out a tricky puzzle. "Alright," he says, "show me."
So, the Fox guides the Ass to the trap. SPLAT! The Ass falls in and can't climb out. Now, he wishes he'd paid more attention in how-to-escape-from-traps school.
Happy that his dinner plans are set, the Lion turns back to the Fox. But instead of saying, "You're awesome, here's a blue ribbon," he growls, "Snack time!"
That's right, kiddos. The Fox's plan didn't just go wrong; it went super-wrong. The Lion chooses to munch on the Fox first and save the trapped Ass for later.
And there you have it! Being too tricky can turn you into a snack for someone else. Even if you're as sneaky as a Fox... who now wishes he'd been a little less clever and a little more nice.
Fox and Ass, side by side,
Wandered woods, far and wide.
Till they met Lion, fierce and grand,
Roaring loud, across the land.
Fox felt fear, deep inside,
Thought of a trick, in a stride.
"Mr. Lion, so strong and neat,
Look at that Ass, isn’t he sweet?
He's quite plump, a feast indeed!
I'll lead him to a trap, with speed."
Lion grinned, nodding his head,
And to the trap, the Ass was led.
Ass was trapped, couldn’t flee,
Lion laughed with utmost glee.
But instead of the Ass, here's the twist,
It was the Fox, the Lion wished to enlist.
In the woods, the tale unwinds,
Where treachery and fate entwines.
For in deceit, one often finds,
That mischief backfires in all kinds.
