The theme of this fable is that no one can overcome honesty. In light of that we see that greed and malice are to be downfalls of the individual. We can therefore deduce that leaders must be honest and honorable and not fall to vices like greed and be fair and not malicious.
Capricious (adj.)
1590s, "humorous;" c. 1600, "apt to change the mind suddenly, fickle," from French capricieux "whimsical" (16c.), from Italian capriccioso, from capriccio (see caprice).
