The Rabbit and the Carrots

fox and rabbit fable illustration

A fox knocked on a rabbit's door.

"Could I have some carrots?" he asked.

The rabbit looked at him.
Then she looked at the size of his belly.

A thought arrived a moment later.

The rabbit blinked.

"You look well-fed."

"I am," said the fox. "But your carrots are easier."
