A Dog chides a Fox trying to get to young sheep.
Chambry (Fox and Lamb)
Note: The Chambry collection is published in Greek. AI was used to translate the Greek to this text:
A fox, having entered a flock of sheep, seized a lamb while it was suckling and pretended to be kissing it. When asked by a dog what she was doing, she said: “I am acting as its nurse and playing with it.” But the dog replied: “Well then, unless you let the lamb go immediately, I will bring the pack of dogs upon you.”
How do you think an AI might simplify this fable? Here is one answer, and the illustration above was made from this simplification:
A fox steals a lamb and tries to hide her theft by pretending she is only caring for it. But a dog sees through the deceit and warns her of consequences if she doesn’t let it go.
Moral
Even clever thieves expose themselves with foolish excuses, and their deception is easily discovered.
