The Wasp and the Fox
A wasp stopped on a water lily and as its wings had got wet, it couldn't fly any longer. It asked a fox to allow it to climb on its forehead.
At the beginning the fox didn't agree as it was in a hurry: the hunter was hunting it but finally it agreed. The fox went on running to escape from its hunters.
Meanwhile the wings of the wasp got dry. When the hunter wanted to push the trigger of the gun, the wasp pricked him. The hunter couldn't hit the fox.
