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. How dare you paddle around in my stream and stir up all the mud!, he shouted fiercely. Out popped the old Owl's head from the opening in the tree that served her both for door and for window. But just as he was about to put his head under his wing, his beady eyes caught a flash of red and a glimpse of a long pointed nose, and there just below him stood Master Fox. The Master was much alarmed at the strange behavior of the Ass, and calling for help, soon attracted the attention of the servants. Solid food!, said the Sheep. said the old Frog, puffing herself up. Can it be a crime to eat sheep, such stupid mutton heads? But just as he cast the stone, the Ant stung him in the heel, so that the pain made him miss his aim, and the startled Dove flew to safety in a distant wood.
Pride goes before a fall.
