Displayed from tts_chunks
A Bear boasted very much of his philanthropy, saying that of all animals he was the most tender in his regard for man, for he had such respect for him that he would not even touch his dead body. A Fox hearing these words said with a smile to the Bear, "Oh! that you would eat the dead and not the living."

"summary": "\"The Bear and the Fox\" is a short fable by Aesop in which a Bear proudly boasts of his deep respect for mankind, claiming he would never so much as touch a human corpse. His self-congratulation seems almost noble — until a quick-witted Fox cuts straight through the performance with a single, stinging remark. In just a few words, the Fox exposes the gap between the Bear's grand words and his actual deeds, delivering one of Aesop's sharpest lessons on the difference between empty virtue and genuine goodness.",
