From Eva (year 1):

A fox came to a cave that the old lion lived in. And the fox stayed outside while He addressed the lion. The lion said "Why don't you come in?". And the fox said, "Because I have seen footprints pointing toward the cave, and none pointing the other way". The lion had been pretending he was sick, and getting food by pretending. By pouncing on the animals that came in to the cave.

Aesop Fables, Part 3 ch. 12. The She-Goats and Their Beards

From Eva (year 1):

Someone (Jupiter) gave the she-goats beards on their own request. And The He-goats didn't like it. And they went to the Jupiter and talked to him. And the Jupiter said "Let them have beards if they want them."

Mom adds:
Jupiter told the He-goats to not bother with just a tuft of hair, because their strength was much greater than that of the She-goats.
