A fox looked at his shadow at sunrise and said, “I will have a camel for lunch today.” And all morning he went about looking for camels. But at noon he saw his shadow again--and he said, “A mouse will do.”

Interpretation

My interpretation of "The Fox" revolves around the way we see ourselves. We need to be realistic and not arrogant. At sunrise the fox's shadow seemed larger, however at noon it was much smaller. The camel pertains a greedy attitude in order to to get something, but he still acknowledges the fact that what he want does not come true. This has contextual meaning, sending message to all of human beings that  we must receive the fate after we try to get what we want.An individual must see themselves as they are.
