A Rabbit left his home one day for a dinner of clover. In pity for the noble Eagle he rushed up and soon had loosened the coiling Serpent and freed the Eagle. Your gold!, There in that hole? Here is a dainty bite for my breakfast. One day he met a pair of Ducks and told them all his trouble. Yes, yes, replied the Monkey.Indeed, I do. I am with him constantly. Constancy! laughed the Butterfly. I had no sooner left you than I saw Zephyr kissing you. Sweeping down, the Eagle seized the poisoned horn from out his savior's hands, and flew away with it to hide it where it could never be found.
Misfortune is the test of true friendship.
