There was a fox who had never seen a lion. But one day he happened to meet one of these beasts face to face. On this first occasion he was so terrified that he felt he would die of fear.
He encountered the Lion again, and this time he was also frightened, but not so much as the first time.
But on the third occasion when he saw him, he actually plucked up the courage to approach him and began to chat.
MORAL: Familiarity soothes our fears. The more we face our fears the more we develop courage to overcome them.
