Fable 16: The Bear

A bear, adorned with precious stones and pearls, would always come to the marketplace. People said, “Anyone who can jump over the bear can have all the jewels it is wearing.”

A shrewd man who was there replied, “You are looking at what it is wearing, whereas I am looking at its teeth.”

--Genesis Rabbah 86:4
