A Farmer was driving his wagon along a miry country road after a heavy rain. I wish he had stung you! Had it not been for the Dolphins, who at that time were very friendly toward mankind and especially toward Athenians, all would have perished.

He very quickly captured the porker, which squealed at the top of its voice the moment the Shepherd laid his hands on it. And when the Fox lost his temper, the Stork said calmly: Do not play tricks on your neighbors unless you can stand the same treatment yourself.
The evil doer often comes to harm through his own deceit.
