What is the moral of this story?

From Smith's story, we can know that anyone who bullies others by virtue of the power of his position, or bullies others by taking advantage of his position, can be said to be Smith. All cunning and treacherous people always like to brag, tell lies and live by cheating. Although such people can be brave for a while by external forces, they are the weakest and most fragile in nature.

Smith said that the fox escaped from the tiger's mouth by his own intelligence. Later used to refer to bullying people by relying on their power. The sly fox used the tiger's prestige to scare others in the forest. However, cunning tactics can never change the fox's weak nature. Once the trick is exposed, it will not only be besieged by wild animals, but also swallowed by deceived tigers.

The extension shows that the bad guys who bully others can be arrogant for a while, but in the end they will never have a good end. The fox pretended to be a tiger. Now people use it to mean to bully others by relying on others' strength. It also satirizes those who use other people's power to cheat. And mocked the fatuous people who were used without knowing it.

Extended data:

King Xuan Jing asked his ministers, "I heard that the rulers in the north are afraid to show sympathy. Is this really the case? " None of the ministers can answer. Jiang Yi replied, "Tigers look for all kinds of wild animals to eat. After catching a fox, the fox said to the tiger, "You shouldn't eat me." . God sent me to be the leader of all animals. If you eat me, it's against God's command.

If you don't believe me, I'll go ahead and you follow me. See if any animals see me and dare not run away. The tiger believed it and left with the fox. When the animals saw the tiger, they all ran away. Tigers don't know that animals are afraid of themselves, but they think they are afraid of foxes.

At present, the territory of the King of Qi is 5,000 Li, with an army of 1 million, but T-shirts monopolize power. Therefore, the northern governors were afraid of Zhao Xi's shirt. In fact, they were afraid of the king's army, just as wild animals were afraid of tigers. "
