<h2>THE MONKEY AS KING</h2>
<br/>
<p>At a gathering of all the animals the Monkey danced and
delighted them so much that they made him their King. The Fox,
however, was very much disgusted at the promotion of the Monkey: so
having one day found a trap with a piece of meat in it, he took the
Monkey there and said to him, "Here is a dainty morsel I have
found, sire; I did not take it myself, because I thought it ought
to be reserved for you, our King. Will you be pleased to accept
it?" The Monkey made at once for the meat and got caught in the
trap. Then he bitterly reproached the Fox for leading him into
danger; but the Fox only laughed and said, "O Monkey, you call
yourself King of the Beasts and haven't more sense than to be taken
in like that!"</p>
