The horn of my elder brother is as soft (harmless) as a shivered stick.The foxes of a certain region familiar with the hare had, for a long time, an idea that its fine long ears were formidable horns, and therefore kept aloof from it. At length an old fox proposed that they should try to ascertain the nature of the extraordinary excrescences on its head; and suggested that some of their neighbours should be invited to a feast. This was done; and when all things were ready the foxes led their guests into the festive hall and they were seated a fox and a hare alternately, at table. During the feast one of the foxes professing great admiration for the fine horns of their guests, laid his hand upon one and looking round uttered the Proverb. On hearing this, each fox seized and devoured the hare next to him.",
