Aesop's Fables, translated by Laura Gibbs (2002)

13. THE LION AND THE FAWN
Perry 341 (Babrius 90)

The lion had gone into in a raging frenzy. A fawn saw him from the woods and said, 'Oh, we really are in trouble! Now that the lion is enraged, he will not stop at anything - and he was already more than we could bear even before he went out of his mind!'
