A hungry tiger happened to have caught a fox and desired to make a nice meal of it. The cunning fox immediately made a protest saying: "How Dare you take me as your food? You must know that I am sent by God to this forest to be the king of all the beasts here. If you eat me you are going against the will of God."

Seeing that the tiger was almost convinced, the fox added: "If you don't believe what I say, you may follow me and see that every beast, without any exception, fears me."

Finding this reasonable, the tiger agreed to the proposal. The fox went ahead, and the tiger followed closely. All the wild beasts in the forest ran when they saw the tiger coming.

So the tiger was convinced that these beasts running for their lives were really afraid of the fox. Therefore, he didn't dare to eat the fox. The story tells people to be clear-minded and not to be fooled by outside appearance of matters and so not to be fooled by those who tease people by others' force.
