At a great celebration in honor of King Lion, the Monkey was asked to dance for the company. Meanwhile, the flock was moving slowly homeward. In her sleep the Country Mouse dreamed she was a Town Mouse with all the luxuries and delights of city life that her friend had described for her. Then, it is said, Hercules really did appear, saying: Put your shoulder to the wheel, man, and urge on your horses. The Wolf had such a beautiful vision of his coming happiness that he almost wept. Serves me right, growled the Wolf as he crept into the bushes. So off he crawled to the meadow. You may have luxuries and dainties that I have not, she said as she hurried away, but I prefer my plain food and simple life in the country with the peace and security that go with it.
It is very foolish to be greedy.
