A Bear boasted very much of his philanthropy, saying that of all animals he was the most tender in his regard for man, for he had such respect for him that he would not even touch his dead body. A Fox[1] hearing these words said with a smile to the Bear, “Oh, but you would eat the living and not the dead.”

[1] Foxes are the annoying hecklers of the Aesop Universe.

Moral of the story: What you don’t bother with says as much about you as what you do.
