There was once a Countryman who possessed the most wonderful Goose you can imagine, for every day when he visited the nest, the Goose had laid a beautiful, glittering, golden egg. No longer could a fat young hen tempt Master Fox to dinner, nor a tender lamb rouse greedy Sir Wolf's appetite. That was his mistake. Guessing what the Bear was after, the Bee flew at him, stung him sharply and then disappeared into the hollow log. How useless is the Plane!, said one of them. I am King Lion, he said, when he had finished, so of course I get the first part. He was all alone. Alas, O Jupiter, man does not know what he asks! Whatever it is, it is wisest to keep at a safe distance.
Whatever you do, do with all your might.
