He returned to his den, and lying down there, pretended to be sick, taking care that his sickness should be publicly known. The beasts expressed their sorrow, and came one by one to his den, where the Lion devoured them. After many of the beasts had thus disappeared, the Fox discovered the trick and presenting himself to the Lion, stood on the outside of the cave, at a respectful distance, and asked him how he was. I am very middling, replied the Lion, but why do you stand without? Pray enter within to talk with me. No, thank you, said the Fox. I notice that there are many prints of feet entering your cave, but I see no trace of any returning. He is wise who is warned by the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drinking beer doesn't make you fat, It makes you lean....Against bars, tables, chairs, and poles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Drinking beer doesn't make you fat, It makes you lean....Against bars, tables, chairs, and poles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people do not consider dawn to be an attractive experience - unless they are still up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44533]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people do not consider dawn to be an attractive experience - unless they are still up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I got up to the Peacock--where I found everybody drinking hot punch in self-preservation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13003]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I got up to the Peacock--where I found everybody drinking hot punch in self-preservation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the letter is genuine.
