The Wild Boar & the Fox

 Author: Aesop


When a Fox passed by, a wild boar was busy sharpening his tusks against a tree stump. The Fox was now constantly looking for an opportunity to tease his neighbor. As a result, he made a big deal out of scanning the area nervously and fearfully. The Boar, however, persisted in his work.

Finally, the Fox smiled and asked, "Why are you doing that?" "I don't perceive any danger.”

Absolutely rite, but there won't be time for this type of work when danger does strike, the boar said.

Then, I'll need to be prepared to use my weapons, or I'll pay for it later.”

Moral  

The best guarantee of peace is war preparation.
