The Fox and the Tiger

A tiger corners a fox, and the fox says to the tiger, "Silly creature, you best stand aside. I am the most dangerous of all the animals, and if you strain my patience you will suffer my fang. Think I'm bluffing? Then follow me."

So the tiger follows the fox into the woods, and all the other animals scatter in fear. Abashed, the tiger thanks the fox for his tolerance and walks away in apology.
