Once there was a Wolf who accused a Fox of stealing, but the Fox entirely refused the blame.
An Ape undertook to adjudge the matter between them.
When each had fully stated his case the Ape
announced this sentence: "I do not think you,
Wolf, ever lost what you claim; and I do believe
you, Fox, to have stolen what you so stoutly
deny."
Moral: The dishonest, if they act
honestly, get no credit.
