The Eagle and His Captor, written by Esopo, is a fable about an eagle who is captured by a fox. The eagle, being the stronger of the two, is unable to escape despite its best efforts. The fox, on the other hand, is able to outsmart the eagle and keep it captive. The moral of the story is that even the strongest can be outsmarted by the cunning.
