The Wolf and His Shadow: Aesop's Fables


Once upon a time there lived a wolf in a forest. One evening he was running in the sun shade.The setting sun cast his shadow far out on the ground, and it looked as if the wolf were a hundred times bigger than he really was.


"Why," exclaimed the Wolf proudly, "see how big I am! Fancy me running away from a puny Lion! I'll show him who is fit to be king. I will be king of this jungle.

He went to the lion and said I am bigger than you and come I will show you how much big I am? The lion replied o show me. Just then an immense shadow blotted him out entirely. He got scared and the next instant a Lion struck him down with a single blow.

Moral: Do not let your fancy make you forget realities.
