Aesop's Fables, translated by Laura Gibbs (2002)437. THE FARMER AND THE FOX A wicked farmer envied his neighbour's abundant crops. In order to destroy
the fruits of that man's labour, he caught a fox, attached a blazing fire-brand
to her tail and then let the fox loose in his neighbour's crops. The fox,
however, did not go where she was sent. Instead, as fate decreed, she
set fire to the crops of the man who had let her loose.  Source:
