Fable 104 - The Hind and the Lion in a Cave

A hind was being pursued by some hunters and came to the entrance of a cave. Unknown to the hid, a lion was inside.
She went inside to hide herself but was seized by the lion. As it killed her, she cried out:
‘How ill-fated I am! In fleeing from men I have thrown myself into the grasp of a ferocious beast!’

Men, fearing a lesser danger, sometimes throw themselves into a greater one.
