One day a tiger saw a fox walking
alone. Then, he intended to attack the fox. When Tiger jumped on Fox, Fox cried
out, "How dare you attack the king of the jungle?" Tiger looked at
him in amazement. "Nonsense! You are not King!" "Certainly I
am," replied the Fox. "All the animals run from me in terror! If you
want proof, come with me." Fox went into the forest with tiger in heels.
When they came to a herd of deer, the deer saw Tiger behind the Fox and ran in all
direction. They came to a group of monkey, the monkey saw the tiger behind fox
and they fled. Fox looked to tiger and said, "Do you need more proof than
that? See how the animals flee at the first sight of me?" "I am
surprised, but I've seen it with my own eyes. Forgive me attacking you, Great
King." Tiger bowed low with great ceremony, he let the fox go.

Suatu hari seekor harimau melihat seekor rubah
berjalan sendirian. Diapun berniat untuk menyerangnya. Saat Harimau melompat ke
arah rubah, rubah berteriak, "Beraninya kamu menyerang Si Raja
Hutan." Harimau memandang keheranan. "Omong kosong. Kamu bukan Si
Raja Hutan!" "Tentu saja aku Si Raja Hutan," jawab Rubah.
"Semua binatang lari ketakutan jika melihatku. Jika kamu ingin bukti, ayo
ikut aku!" Rubah lalu masuk ke dalam hutan dengan Harimau mengikuti di
belakangnya. Saat mereka mendatangi sekawanan kijang, mereka lari kocar kacir
karena di belakang Rubah ada Harimau. Mereka mendekati tempat monyet membuat
monyet-monyet melarikan diri karena melihat Harimau di belakang Rubah. Rubah
menoleh ke arah Harimau dan berkata, "Kamu butuh bukti lagi? Lihat
bagaimana binatang-binatang itu lari begitu melihat aku sekejap."
"Aku terkejut. Tapi aku sudah melihat dengan mataku sendiri. Maafkan aku
telah menyerangmu tadi, Paduka Raja," Harimau membungkuk memberi
penghormatan kepada Rubah. Dia lalu membiarkan Rubah berlalu.
