Perry's Index to the Aesopica
Fables exist in many versions; here is one version in English:
THE LION AND THE FAWN
The lion had gone into in a raging frenzy. A fawn saw him from the woods and
said, 'Oh, we really are in trouble! Now that the lion is enraged, he will not
stop at anything - and he was already more than we could bear even before he
went out of his mind!' |
