A Fox had the hap to fall into the Walk of a Lion, (the first of the kind that he ever saw) and he was ready to drop down at the very Sight of him. He came a-while after to see another, and was frighted still, but nothing to what he was before. It was his Chance, after this, to meet a third Lion, and he had the Courage, then, to accost him, and to make a kind of an Acquaintance with him.
Novelty surprizes us, and we have naturally a Horror for uncouth mishapen Monsters; but ‘tis our Ignorance that staggers us, for upon Custom and Experience all these Bugs grow familiar and easy to us.Source:
