Chapter 101
A wild boar was whetting his tusks against a tree when a fox came by and asked him why he was doing this. “I see no reason,” he remarked. “There are no hunters nor hounds in sight. In fact, at the moment I can’t see any danger at all.”
“True,” responded the boar, “but when that danger does arise, I’ll have other things on my mind than sharpening my weapons.”
It may be too late to whet the sword when the trumpets sound to draw it.
