The hares, who were fighting with the eagles, called the foxes to their aid. The foxes answered them:
“If we didn’t know who you are and who you’re fighting with, we would willingly come to your aid.” But helping the hares in the war against the eagles is sheer folly.
The conclusion from the fable is this: one should not engage in single combat with someone who cannot be defeated.
