　A hunting dog found a lion and chased after it.

　But the lion turned around to the dog and let out the loud roar,

“Grr…,”

“Roar!”

　That terrified the dog and he turned the tail.

　The fox saw everything and said to the dog,

“That is pathetic. You were the one chasing after the lion,but you ran away by just hearing lion’s roar. ”



　You should tell this story to the one who is speaking ill of someone or looking down on people behind,

　but never have the courage to face them.
