A long time ago a Man met a Satyr in the forest and succeeded in making friends with him. The sly Fox soon found a bright patch of moonlight, where the Pheasants could see him clearly; there he raised himself up on his hind legs, and began a wild dance. But the Dog seemed to be very proud of the clog and dragged it about noisily as if he wished to attract everybody's attention. My father certainly was a full-blooded racer, he said. I feel highly flattered, kind sir, replied the Cock slyly. In every battle the Weasels carried off the victory, as well as a large number of the Mice, which they ate for dinner next day. But the Eagle pounced upon her prey, the sweep of her great wings tumbling the Beetle a dozen feet away. Not one escaped the teeth of the hungry Weasels.
They complain most who suffer least.
