Show Moral: It's an Art To Knoiv When, to Fight A loud, noisy and particularly objectionable skunk, obsessed by its own prominence and the attention atten-tion paid to it, challenged a lion to single combat. The challenge was promptly declined by the lion. "Huh!" sneered the skunk, "You're afraid to fight me." "No," answered the lion, coolly, "but why should I fight you? You would gain fame from fighting me, even though I gave you the worst licking of your life, as I would do. How about me, though? I couldn't possibly gain anything by defeating defeat-ing you while on the other hand, everyone who met me for a month would know I had been in the company of a skunk." |
