Summary

Penrhyn Wingfield Coussens The Jade Story Book — The Fox and the Crafty Crab (1922)

Perhaps I am very slow and very stupid, but if you will allow me to hang a weight on that fine tail of yours, to hold it down, I challenge you to as long a race as you care to run."
The Fox thought he might just as well teach the stupid Crab a lesson, so, in a voice filled with contempt, he said: "When you ask me to race with you, even with any handicap you like, you show how little understanding you have. You have many legs and no sense, while I have four legs and am known to be the wisest inhabitant of the forest. Even human beings refer to me as the slyest of the sly."
