A fox and a monkey were traveling together, arguing over whose ancestry was nobler. After each had spoken at length, they came to a certain place, where the monkey looked around and sighed. When the fox asked why, the monkey pointed to the tombs and said, “How can I help weeping when I see the gravestones of my family’s freedmen and slaves?” The fox replied, “Lie as much as you please: not one of them will rise to prove you wrong.” So too, liars boast most brazenly when there is no one to expose them.
