猫和狐狸。猫和狐狸，两个道貌岸然的伪君子，做出的样子却象两个圣人，他们要去圣地朝拜。他们是地道的骗子，一路上不少的家禽没少被他们骗来吃掉，甚至还有奶酪，他们就这样省去了路上的花费。漫长的旅途，乏味无趣，要有事情做才能打发，他们经常地争论，时间倒也是过的很快。对他们来说，好的精神全靠争论得来，所以争论必不可少不能或缺。他们无休无止的争吵着，夹扎着最多的话语却是对自己的吹捧和对朋友的贬低。狐狸说：朋友，你不要认为自己有多么高明，我知道的就比你多，我有很多的计谋。猫反驳道：不可能！我有一个能胜过任何计谋的手段，非常高明由不得你不信。狐狸和猫就这样激烈的争论着，他们都不能说服对方，持续了很久，如果不是一只猎狗的到来它们根本就没有停止的意思。猎狗马上就到跟前，猫挖苦狐狸：亲爱的朋友，你多想出几个办法来对付猎狗，我相信你一定能行，那我就先用我的绝招了，再见。说完猫爬上了树，撇下狐狸一个人在下边。狐狸绞尽脑汁地想啊，想出了成千上万个招数，他到处躲藏，无数次地把猎狗带进死胡同，他无数次躲进洞穴，但都被逼出来。最后一次，他失去了运气，被凶猛的猎狗扑到，扼住了他的喉咙寓言启示：一招克敌制胜远比那万千计谋来的有用，可悲的狐狸自以为是就因为没有这一招落得这样的下场也不是偶然了。
