A Beetle once begged the Eagle to spare a Hare which had run to her for protection. 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. In mournful croaks they begged Jupiter to take away the cruel tyrant before they should all be destroyed. At last a very young Mouse got up and said: I have a plan that seems very simple, but I know it will be successful. Look, cried a Hare, things are not so bad after all, for here are creatures who are even afraid of us!
They complain most who suffer least.
