King without wits
All the animals of the forest gathered to elect their new king.

by his antics. The fox was very disappointed at not
being chosen and waited for a chance to get it.
One day, he found a piece of meat on a path. He
realised at once it was the bait for a trap. But off
he went to the monkey and offered to show him
where it was, as a sign of his loyalty. The monkey
king at once fell into the trap and the fox burst out laughing.
‘With so few wits, you cannot even rule yourself; let alone animals.’

A out of loyalty
