The fox and the tiger -

An Archer, hunting in the woods, was so successful with his arrows
that he killed many of the wild animals. This frightened the rest so
much that they ran into the densest part of the bushes to hide. At
last the Tiger stood up, and pretending to be very brave, told the
other animals not to be afraid anymore, but to rely on his courage,
and he would attack the enemy on his own. While he was talking, and
lashing his tail and tearing at the ground with his claws to impress
the others, an arrow came and pierced his ribs. The Tiger howled with
pain.
While he was trying to draw out the arrow with his teeth the Fox went
up to him and asked, in surprise, whoever had the strength and courage
to wound such a brave and mighty beast as the Tiger?
"Nay," said the Tiger, "I misjudged my enemy. It was that unbeatable
man over there!"
