Once there lived a fox in the forest. The fox was very cunning.
One day, the fox went to the ass and said, 'Friend, we can become partners and go for hunting together. As the wise saying goes, we should have partners rather than be alone'.
The ass was convinced. He agreed to accompany the fox during hunting.
Next day, the fox and the ass went together for hunting. While they were searching for prey, the fox saw the lion coming their way. The fox gave a coxing smile and went ahead to speak to the lion.
The fox quietly said, 'O mighty king! I have a ready prey for you. I promised to contrive this foolish ass for your grand meal, but promise me my lord that you will spare my life and grant me a part of your killing'.
The lion agreed. So the fox ran to the ass and pushed him into a deep pit. The lion saw the ass was in deep pit and difficult to pull out, so he immediately attacked the fox and killed it.
Moral : Traitors must expect treachery.
