When first the Fox saw the Lion he was terribly frightened, and
ran away and hid himself in the wood. Next time he came near
the King of Beasts, however, 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.
Acquaintance softens prejudices.
