The Fox and the Woodcutter
In the deep forest a fox runs in fear. While escaping from the hunters he sees a small hut. An old woodcutter stands at the door of the hut.
The fox begs and asks the woodcutter for help. The woodcutter hides him in the wooden hut. Soon the hunters on horseback come to the hut.
Avcılar, "Burada tilki gördün mü?" diye sorar. Oduncu diliyle, "Görmedim," der. But with his hand he secretly points at the hidden fox.
The hunters go away without seeing the hand sign. The fox comes out of his hiding place and walks quietly. Oduncu, "Neden bana teşekkür etmiyorsun?" der.
Tilki, "Elinle dilin bir olsaydı ederdim," der.
A person whose word and heart are not one cannot be trusted.
