Hot-tempered.


Aesop as promised.
Farmer catches a fox that's been tearing up his crop. Vengefully ties a bundle of flaming sticks to the animal's tail; lets him loose. Fox runs directly back to the vineyards and sets everything afire.
Revenge is a Double-edged Sword. The formal Moral. But I feel something can also be said for a brand in the hand equalling two in the bush.
