The Lion Afraid of a Mouse and the Fox

A lion was sleeping; a mouse ran all along his body. The lion woke and turned all over, looking for the one who had affronted him. A fox, seeing him do this, taunted him for being afraid, he a lion, of a mouse. To which the lion replied, "It is not that I was afraid of the mouse, but I was taken aback that anyone dared to run over the body of the sleeping lion."
