A Fawn decided to stay away from a roaring Lion.
Babrius Tranlation (The Lion and The Fawn)
A lion raved. A fawn from woods hard by
Saw, and began, “Ah! wretched we!” to cry.
“How must we, when he’s mad, expect to fare,
“Whom, in his sane state, none of us could bear?”
How do you think an AI might simplify this fable? Here is one answer, and the illustration above was made from this simplification:
A mighty lion flew into a wild rage, roaring and striking the ground. From the edge of the forest, a small fawn watched with trembling legs. “Oh, how terrible for us!” the fawn whispered. “If the lion is frightening when calm, how can we hope to survive when his anger has taken over?”
Moral
Those who are dangerous in quiet moments become far more perilous when they lose control. Keep a safe distance from unchecked fury.
