Once upon a time, there lived a fox who met a young rabbit in the forest. The rabbit asked:

-Who are you?

Lisa replied:

- I am a fox, and I can eat you if I want.

- How can you prove that you are a fox? - asked the rabbit.

The fox did not know what to say, because before the rabbits ran away without further questioning. Then the rabbit said:

“If you can show me written proof that you are a fox, then I will believe you.”

So the fox ran to the lion so that he would give her proof that she was a fox. When she returned back to where the rabbit was waiting for her, she began to read the document. The fox enjoyed this so much that she lingered on every paragraph to prolong it.

Meanwhile, having grasped the meaning of the message from the first lines, the rabbit ran into a hole and did not appear again. The fox ran back to the lion's den, where she saw the deer talking to the lion. Deer said:

“I want to see written proof that you are a lion.”

Lev said:

“When I’m not hungry, I don’t need to bother you, but when I’m hungry, you don’t need any writing.”

The fox said to the lion:

“Why didn’t you tell me to do this when I asked for an ID for the rabbit?”

“My friend,” said the lion, “you should have said that the rabbit demanded the ID.” I thought that it was necessary for those stupid human beings from whom some of the animals learned such discrimination.
