AN EAGLE stayed his flight and entreated¹ a Lion to make an
alliance with him to their mutual² advantage. The Lion replied,
"I have no objection, but you must excuse me for requiring you to
find surety for your good faith, for how can I trust anyone as a
friend who is able to fly away from his bargain whenever he
pleases?'

Try before you trust.
