The heavens cannot please everyone.A spirited fox happily left his den to look for food.

Why do I have to run away every time I see that little lion? I'll show him who is worthy of being king of the jungle, him or me."At that moment, another huge shadow covered him, and in a flash he was knocked down by a single punch from the lion.Don't let your imagination fool you into forgetting the truth
