The hero is brave in deeds as well as words

In the world of Aesop's fables, bravery is a trait that is often celebrated and admired. The hero in these stories is not only brave in words, but also in deeds. This means that they not only talk the talk, but they also walk the walk when it comes to facing challenges and standing up for what is right.

One of the most famous examples of a hero who is brave in deeds as well as words is the story of "The Lion and the Mouse." In this fable, a tiny mouse is able to save a mighty lion from a hunter's trap by gnawing through the ropes that bind him. Despite the lion's initial skepticism of the mouse's ability to help him, the mouse proves his bravery through his actions, ultimately earning the lion's gratitude and respect.

Another example of a hero who is brave in deeds as well as words is the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." In this fable, a young shepherd boy repeatedly tricks the villagers into thinking that a wolf is attacking his flock, only to later be ignored when a real wolf does appear. The boy's false alarms demonstrate his lack of bravery in deeds, as he fails to take responsibility for his actions and ultimately puts his flock in danger.
