The Monkey as King 왕으로서 원숭이 이솝우화

The Monkey as King

At a gathering of all the animals, the Monkey danced and delighted them so much that they made  him  their King.

The Fox, however, was very much disgusted at the pro­motion  of the  Monkey:  so having  one day found a trap with a piece of meat in it, he took the Monkey there and said to him, "Here is a dainty morsel I have found,  sire; I did  not take it myself, because I thought it ought to be reserved for you,  our King. Will you  be pleased  to accept  it?"

The Monkey made  at once for the meat and got  caught in the trap. Then he bitterly reproached the Fox for leading him  into danger.

But the Fox only laughed and  said,  "O Monkey, you call yourself King of the Beasts and haven't more sense  than to be  taken  in  like that!"

 

 

There's more than one way to bait a trap.
