It’s easiest to explain through the legend that spawned it. A fox persuaded a tiger not to eat him by claiming to be the most feared animal in the jungle. To prove its claim, the fox began to walk through the jungle with the Tiger behind him, being treated as the most feared beast-because people were reacting to the tiger behind him rather than fearing the fox itself. This proverb is used to describe someone who relies on the power, reputation, or influence of others to achieve their goals, even though they may not have the same strength or abilities themselves. --------------------- 🇯
