Once upon a time a Cat and a Monkey lived as pets in the same house. Soon he found life in the pasture very dull. It was enough to hang anyone for, much more an Ass. But at last he stopped to argue. Before he composed himself to rest, he flapped his wings three times and crowed loudly. The poor Woodman was very glad that his axe had been found and could not thank the kind god enough. The Countryman now went on toward home. Otherwise, I should advise you to try some other profession.
It is cowardly to attack the defenseless, though he be an enemy.
