SECTION 1

The Wolf and the LambWolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay
violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb
the Wolf’s right to eat him. He thus addressed him: “Sirrah, last
year you grossly insulted me.” “Indeed,” bleated the Lamb in a mournful
tone of voice, “I was not then born.” Then said the Wolf, “You feed
in my pasture.” “No, good sir,” replied the Lamb, “I have not yet
tasted grass.” Again said the Wolf, “You drink of my well.” “No,”
exclaimed the Lamb, “I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother’s
milk is both food and drink to me.” Upon which the Wolf seized him
and ate him up, saying, “Well! I won’t remain supperless, even though
you refute every one of my imputations.” The tyrant will always find
a pretext for his tyranny.

The Bat and the Weasels

A Bat who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded
to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature
the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird,
but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again
fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise
entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility
to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and
thus a second time escaped.

It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

The Ass and the Grasshopper

An Ass having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted;
and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what
sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They
replied, “The dew.” The Ass resolved that he would live only upon
dew, and in a short time died of hunger.
