熊与狐狸The BEAR AND THE FOX

   A Bear was once bragging about his generous feelings, and saying how refined he was compared with other animals. (There is ,in fact, a tradition that a Bear will never touch a dead body.) A fox, who heard him talking in this strain, smiled and said, “My friend, when you are hungry, I only wish you would confine your attention to the dead and leave the living alone.”
