One day a cat and a fox were having a
conversation. The fox, who was a conceited creature, boasted how clever she
was. 'Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual
enemies, the dogs,' she said.
'I know only one trick to get away
from dogs,' said the cat. 'You should teach me some of yours!'
'Well, maybe some day, when I have the
time, I may teach you a few of the simpler ones,' replied the fox airily.
Just then they heard the barking of a
pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew louder and louder - the dogs
were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and
climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. 'This is the trick I
told you about, the only one I know,' said the cat. 'Which one of your hundred
tricks are you going to use?'
The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.
Moral : A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans.

Rubah dan Seekor Kucing
Suatu hari kucing dan rubah sedang bercakap-cakap. Rubah, yang adalah makhluk sombong, membual tentang betapa pintarnya dia. "Kenapa, aku tahu setidaknya seratus trik untuk menjauh dari musuh kita bersama, anjing," katanya.
"Saya
hanya tahu satu trik untuk menjauh dari anjing," kata kucing. "Kamu
harus mengajariku beberapa trik mu!"
"Yah,
mungkin suatu hari, ketika saya punya waktu, saya mungkin mengajarkan kamu
beberapa trik yang sederhana," jawab rubah ringan.
Sesaat
kemudian mereka mendengar gonggongan sekawanan anjing di kejauhan. menggonggong
semakin keras - anjing datang menuju ke arah mereka! Seketika kucing berlari ke
pohon terdekat dan naik ke cabang-cabangnya, di luar jangkauan dari setiap
anjing. 'Ini adalah trik saya katakan tadi, satu-satunya yang saya tahu,
"kata kucing. ' mana salah satu dari seratus trik anda yang anda akan gunakan?'
Rubah duduk
diam di bawah pohon, bertanya-tanya trik apa yang dia harus gunakan. Sebelum
dia bisa mengambil keputusan, anjing tiba. Mereka menyergap rubah dan mencabik-cabiknya.
Pesan Moral:
Sebuah
rencana tunggal yang bekerja lebih baik dari seratus rencana diragukan.
