　A fox sneaked into an actor's house, and was messing up his clothes and accessories

　to hunt something valuable.

　In the meantime, the fox found a spectacular monkey mask.

　He picked it up and said,

“Well, it looks like such a spectacular monkey.

　It's probably the king of monkeys.

　… What? There's nothing at the back of the mask.”

　Then he threw it away.



　This story is the one that holds true of people who do not see real value in things.
