A Dog asleep in a manger filled with hay, was awakened by the Cattle, which came in tired and hungry from working in the field. He listened with a great deal of admiration to the song of the Grasshoppers. The Ass was very much frightened, but the Fox calmed his fears. The thirsty Goat immediately jumped in and began to drink. But now the Wolves thought of a plan to trick the Sheep. You must come and dine with me today, he said to the Stork, smiling to himself at the trick he was going to play. And so they died, giving their lives for the sake of a taste of sweetness.
Acquaintance with evil blinds us to its dangers.
