A hen lived peacefully in her henhouse, feeling safe and secure as she saw no danger there. One night she heard a noise and went out to see what it was.
She came face to face with bright, large eyes, but tried not to show her fear. She recognized that it was a fox and knew what they did and what they were looking for.
The fox asked her in a gentle voice, trying to make her believe he came in peace: "Hen, I'm very hungry, do you have anything to eat? Could you give me an egg? Just one, and I'll leave."
The hen knew that the fox was lying to her, so she replied: "Go away or I will cackle so much that the master will come with his shotgun."
The fox ignored her and bared its teeth, signaling that it was about to devour her. Just then, a shotgun blast rang out. The owner of the house had been watching the fox for some time and wanted to hunt it down, so the moment had arrived. The second shot struck the fox, leaving it dead on the ground as it tried to escape.
The master of the house painted a wall with a drawing of the fox and the hen as a reminder that the simplest and quietest animal had stood up to a fearsome hunter, since if she hadn't entertained him, the master of the house wouldn't have noticed the fox's presence.
"That fox will no longer bother any hens in this coop or the neighbors'; thanks to you I had the time to take aim at him."
Moral of the story: Many times it is not strength that makes you win, but the cunning with which you face a problem.
What do I see?:
A pair with a cute drawing of a fox and a hen facing each other.
What do I feel?: Something strong and fierce versus something weak and small, but if a well-used and thought-out strategy is employed, it can be the winner against any problem.

"Many times it is not strength that makes you win, but the cunning with which you face a problem." I couldn't agree more. Everything depends on how we decide to deal with a situation. A sharp, brilliant mind that thinks things through beats brute force. Excellent story. Good luck in the contest @isabelpena 🤗.
Thank you so much, friend @vezo! We must put our skills into practice because unexpected problems require it, and that's how we can solve them. Thanks for stopping by my post.
