THE VIXEN AND THE LIONESS

Name: Aesop’s Fables: The Vixen and the Lioness - The Vixen and the Lioness
Author: Aesop

A Vixen who was taking her babies out for an airing one balmy morning, came across a Lioness, with her cub in arms. "Why such airs, haughty dame, over one solitary cub?" sneered the Vixen. "Look at my healthy and numerous litter here, and imagine, if you are able, how a proud mother should feel." The Lioness gave her a squelching look, and lifting up her nose, walked away, saying calmly, "Yes, just look at that beautiful collection. What are they? Foxes! I’ve only one, but remember, that one is a Lion."

Quality is better than quantity.
