When first time the Fox saw the Lion, he was terribly frightened of the lion.So he hid himself in the woods nearby.
Next time however he came near the Lion he stopped at a safe distance and watched him pass by.
The third time they came near one another the
Fox went straight up to the Lion and passed the
time of day with him, asking him how his family
were, and when he should have the pleasure of
seeing him again; then turning his tail, he
parted from the Lion without much ceremony.
Moral: Familiarity breeds contempt.
