A FOX and a Monkey were traveling together on the same road.  As
they journeyed, they passed through a cemetery¹ full of monuments.
"All these monuments which you see," said the Monkey, "are
erected in honor of my ancestors, who were in their day freedmen
and citizens of great renown²."  The Fox replied, "You have chosen
a most appropriate subject for your falsehoods, as I am sure none
of your ancestors will be able to contradict you." 


A false tale often betrays itself.
