A skunk once challenged a lion to single combat. The lion promptly declined the honor of such a meeting.
"How," said the skunk, "are you afraid?"
"Very much so," quoth the lion, "for you would only gain fame by having the honor to fight a lion, while every one who met me for a month to come would know that I had been in company with a skunk."
