The Fox and the Horse

From Grimms' Fairy Tales, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

The Fox and the Horse is a tale from Grimms' Fairy Tales, collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early 1800s. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story shows how cleverness and loyalty can win the day when strength alone is not enough, and how a true friend helps when things seem hopeless.
