眼见为实
一天，百兽之王让一只小猫去看看他的宫殿建造得怎么样。几个小时之后，小猫回来了，对老虎说：“您的宫殿非常大，又高又漂亮。”几天后，老虎又让一只猪去看看。他说：“去看看我的宫殿建造得如何。”但是，猪回来之后却对老虎说：“亲爱的国王陛下，虽然您的宫殿很漂亮，但是它只容得下您自己。”老虎听到这些话感到很吃惊。“为什么猫和猪说的话不一样呢？”老虎自语着。然后他又让一头骆驼去看一看。骆驼很快便气喘吁吁地跑回来了，它对老虎说：“我的国王，您的宫殿对于您来说，实在是太小了，都没法住。”当老虎听到骆驼所说的话时，变得非常生气。他生气地对动物们说：“你们三个人中有人说谎了，三个人有三个看法。我要处死你们。”就在这时，一只狐狸过来阻止老虎那样做。他请求老虎在杀他们之前，自己亲自去看看。老虎亲自看完宫殿后，认为他们的答案都是对的。他对动物们说：“眼见为实，耳听为虚。”。
