One day, a certain man, walking through the forest, saw a lame fox. He was surprised by how she maintained her existence, and he decided to observe her. Soon he saw a lion emerge from the forest with a piece of meat in his teeth, eat a little and leave it to the fox.
The man who watched this was quite surprised, and concluded for himself that if he behaved like this fox, then Providence would undoubtedly do the same to him. He sat down on the ground and waited. Time passed, but nothing happened over time, and the man became weaker and weaker. And so, when he was so weak that he could not get up, a voice came from heaven:
“Don't be a lame fox! Be a strong lion, and then you can feed yourself and provide for others!”
