Once there was a Tiger (Hu) who caught a Fox (Hu). Just when the
Tiger wanted to eat the Fox, the Fox started to laugh and said, 'How dare you? I
am the king of the jungle!' The Tiger was baffled and replied, 'Who has heard of
a Fox being the king of the jungle?' The Fox replied, 'If you don't believe me,
follow me into the jungle. I will show you how all animals are afraid of me.' As
the Tiger followed the Fox into the jungle, he was surprised to find that all
the animals started to run for their lives. Actually, the animals ran from the
Tiger instead of the Fox, but the Tiger did not know that. The Tiger apologized
to the Fox and let him go free.
Applications: This
phrase means a fox borrows the tiger's power or influence，it is
often used to describe people who oppress others, using the authority of
their superiors.
