"The Ass, the Fox, and the Lion" by Aesop (translated into English)
The Ass and the Fox, having entered into
partnership together for their mutual protection, went out into the forest to hunt.
They had not proceeded far when they met a Lion. The Fox, seeing imminent
danger, approached the Lion and promised to contrive for him the capture of the
Ass if the Lion would pledge his word not to harm the Fox. Then, upon assuring
the Ass that he would not be injured, the Fox led him to a deep pit and
arranged that he should fall into it. The Lion, seeing that the Ass was
secured, immediately clutched the Fox, and attacked the Ass at his leisure.
