THE HEDGEHOG AND THE FOXOnce upon a time, there was a fox who wanted to catch a hedgehog and make him his feast. The fox, already sure of his success, boasted he knew a thousand tricks to catch his prey. Meanwhile, the hedgehog had just one single strategy for journeying through the woods and fields to reach his destination : Everytime the fox approached, he would roll into a tight ball of spines and then wait until the fox grew tired of not being able to get hold of him. Then, the hedgehog would simply continue his route without deviating from it.Night after night, the fox used up all his thousand tricks, one by one. He used his paws, his teeth, even a piece of wood ... No matter how, he never managed to grab the hedgehog ! In the end, starving to death after all these unsuccesful attempts, the fox had to give up his gruesome plan. The hedgehog, in contrast, reached the final objective he had set to himself without trouble and on time. __________________________________________________________________________________Freely adapted from an ancient tale compiled by Erasmus circa 1500 ("multa novit vulpes verum echinus unum magnum").
