The Wolf,the Fox and the Ape

A wolf charged a Fox with theft, which he denied, and the case was brought before an ape to be tried. When he had heard the evidence on both sides, the ape gave judgment¹ as follows::I do not think," he said, "that you, O wolf, over lost what you claim; but all the same I believe that you, fox are guilty of the theft, in spite of all your denials."

 

The dishonest get no credit, even if they act honestly.
