Ragitsu Posted February 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 The Fox and The Stork: it's fine and dandy to take payback on someone who pulled a fast one on you, because "One bad turn deserves another." The Bat and the Weasels: it's sometimes wise to change or lie about your affiliation in order to save your own skin. The Fox and the Goat: don't trust anyone who's in trouble, because they're likely to be using you to get out of it. The Lion and the Dolphin: no matter how friendly someone is, don't bother allying with them if they're useless. The Hawk and the Pigeons: any people who have elected or nominated a ruler have only themselves to blame if the ruler turns out to be a tyrant. The Farmer and the Nightingale: never believe a captive's promise and never give up what you have. The Ass and the Lap Dog (and The Eagle and the Crow): just because someone else achieves something good doesn't mean that you can. The Eagle and the Fox has the well known moral "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", but the actual story (in which a fox threatens to burn down an eagle's tree in revenge for the eagle taking one of its cubs) gives the implication that this moral is read as a justification for revenge, not a moral code for oneself. The Porcupine and the Snakes: be careful who you take as a guest, because they might be an asshole. The Fox without a Tail: avoid miserable people because they'll try to make you miserable too. The Lark and her Young Ones: if something is worth doing, the only one you can trust to do it is yourself. The Wolf and the Lamb: arguing rationally with the powerful is useless, they'll just overwhelm you. The Wolf and the Crane: the higher your hopes, the more likely you are to be disappointed. The Two Pots: don't hang around powerful people, if there's any mutual trouble you'll get the worst of it. The Man and the Lion: never believe what anyone says in their own defense. The Lion's Share or The Lion and Other Beasts Go Hunting: just because someone wants you to co-operate with them in work does not mean they will give you a share of the reward. The Farmer and the Snake: some people are just plain evil and no amount of building trust will change that. The Ass and his Driver: if someone is determined to destroy themselves, step back and let them, or they'll destroy you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
