For an image today, here is the story of the provident boar: 149. Aper et Vulpes. Stabat olim aper iuxta arborem dentesque acuebat. Quem cum vulpes vidisset, “Quidnam dentes acuis,” inquit, “dum nulla necessitas adest, neque venator neque periculum imminet ullum?” Cui aper “Haud frustra id ago,” respondit, “nam si periculum aliquando contigerit, non tunc in acuendis dentibus tempus teram, sed utar promptis et bene paratis.” (source: note that in the image the boar is sharpened his tusks against a whetstone, not against a tree as in the Latin fable)
