The Fox and the Hens

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a cunning fox who lived near a farm full of hens. Every day, the fox watched the hens from a distance, wishing he could catch one to eat.

One day, the fox came up with a clever idea. He approached the farm fence and called out loudly:
"Oh, kind hens! Do not be afraid, for I have changed my ways. I am now a vegetarian and no longer eat meat. Come to me, for I mean you no harm. I just want to tell you a beautiful story."

At first, the hens hesitated, but one of them, a young and naive hen, said to the others:
"Maybe the fox has really become kind. Let's go and listen to what he has to say."

However, a wise rooster was watching the situation and cried out loudly:
"Do not believe the fox's words! A leopard cannot change its spots, and a trickster will never give up his deceit so easily."

So, none of the hens left the farm, and the fox's plan failed. He left, looking for another trick.

Moral of the story:
Do not trust those with bad intentions, even if they pretend to be good. A deceiver remains a deceiver.
