Both the fat fox and the beautifully striped leopard inhabit forests and dwell in caves, living a tranquil life.
They are nocturnal, remaining vigilantly hidden in their dens during the day. Even when driven by hunger or thirst, they venture only to secluded places in search of sustenance, carefully avoiding human domains. Yet, they still cannot escape the hunters' traps and snares. What fault is theirs? Their misfortune stems solely from their beautiful fur and prized pelts.
