[ Back ] The Fox and The CrocodileA fox and a crocodile were quarreling about their noble births. The crocodile told a lot about the esteem of his ancestors and in conclusion he said that his father was the manager of a gymnasium*. To this the fox replied: "Oh save your breath; looking at the state of your body you haven't been to a gymnasium for years." That's how it ends with lying people: their lies are brought to light by simple facts. *: Being the manager of a gymnasium was held in great esteem by people of ancient Greece.
