Moral of "The Dog and the Fox"?
I am assembling a book for my young niece and nephew. What do you believe is the moral or lesson for a child, or children in this case, in the tale of "The Dog and the Fox"?
= = = = =
The Dog and the Fox
A Dog, roaming in the forest, spied a lion, and being well used to lesser game, gave chase, thinking he would make a fine quarry. Presently the lion perceived that he was being pursued; so, stopping short, he rounded on his pursuer and gave a loud roar. The Dog immediately turned tail and fled. A Fox, seeing him running away, jeered at him and said, "Ho! Ho! There goes the coward who chased a lion and ran away the moment he roared!"

Know what you're getting into before you get into it. (Or something like that.)

A bully accustomed to power will get a big head from dealing with small prey who cringe and succumb but if they over estimate their strength and influence and go after someone more than their match, once they are made to realize this their true cowardly character will show.
