The Fox and the Horse

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

A peasant had a faithful horse which had grown old and
could do no more work, so his master no longer wanted to give
him anything to eat and said,
use of you, but still I mean well by you, and if you prove
yourself still strong enough to bring me a lion here, I will
maintain you. But for now get out of my stable.
that he chased him into the open field.

The horse was sad, and went to the forest to seek a
little protection there from the weather. There the fox met
him and said,
alone?


dwell together in one house. My master has forgotten what
services I have performed for him for so many years, and
because I can no longer plow2 well, he will give me no more
food, and has driven me out.




strong enough to bring him a lion, he would keep me, but he
well knows that I cannot do that.

The fox said,
out as if you were dead, and do not stir.

The horse did what the fox asked, and then the fox went
to the lion, who had his den3 not far off, and said,
horse is lying out there. Just come with me, and you can have
a rich meal.

The lion went with him, and when they were both standing4
by the horse the fox said,
comfortable for you here —— I tell you what —— I will
fasten it to you by the tail, and then you can drag it into
your cave and eat it in peace.

This advice pleased the lion. He positioned himself, and
in order that the fox might tie the horse fast to him, he
kept completely quiet. But the fox tied the lion's legs
together with the horse's tail, and twisted and fastened
everything so well and so strongly that no amount of strength
could pull it loose. When he had finished his work, he tapped
the horse on the shoulder and said,
pull!

Then up sprang the horse at once, and pulled the lion
away with him. The lion began to roar so that all the birds
in the forest flew up in terror, but the horse let him roar,
and drew him and dragged him across the field to his master's
door. When the master saw the lion, he was of a better mind,
and said to the horse,
well.
