Once there were two Cocks living in the same farmyard who could not bear the sight of each other. He decided to take a stroll to the meadow not far inland. Approaching the Ass, he said with a laugh: If you had kept your mouth shut you might have frightened me, too. So the Fox, who had consented to act as judge, marked the distance and started the runners off. Now the heat had affected the Driver as much as it had the Traveler, and even more, for he had been walking. The most stupid of the three is not the one you would expect it to be. Why, I have eyes and ears and as many legs as he! So the old Crab tried and tried to walk straight forward. But the Boar kept right on with his work. However small you may be, you are better than nothing at all.
Take care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves.
