The Monkey and the Fox

There is a very big forest far away. A cute fox lives in the forest. Beside him walks the arrogant ape. The two of them slowly go on a trip. Suddenly they see an old graveyard. There are showy stones on the graves.

The ape looks at the old graves for a long time. He turns to the fox and tells a lie. "My supreme ancestors lie here." "They are the strongest kings of the forest." "They are all very brave heroes." "These kings always protect me."

The fox just laughs slightly at the ape. He never believes these fancy lies. He turns to him and answers cleverly. "You are a really very lucky one." "Because the dead never speak anymore." "They will never expose your lies." "You can boast here comfortably as much as you want." "However, I never believe you."

A liar's best friend is silence.
