The distrust of the Akuko
The land of ogunda odi was a prosperous land where ogunda odi who was the king of that land had a subject who was the Akuko, the one in charge of waking him up in the morning.
On one occasion when the Akuko was in the crown of a leafy tree, waking ogunda odi with his song, the fox approached him and began to speak to him to convince him and for the Akuko to come down from where he was to eat him, where the fox spoke to him telling him that a proclamation had been issued establishing peace and concord among all the animals of the kingdom, that he should come down from the top of the tree without fear to talk better.
But Akuko had learned to be distrustful and before coming down he wanted to do a test, so he told the fox: I am going to come down, but let me look down there, because I think the king is coming ogunda odi with his dogs.
And the fox, who was afraid of dogs and it was a lie what she had told Akuko, ran off, proving Akuko that it was the fox's lie and he was saved for being distrustful.
