A Bear roaming the woods in search of berries happened on a fallen tree in which a swarm of Bees had stored their honey. At last a very young Mouse got up and said: I have a plan that seems very simple, but I know it will be successful. The Cattle looked at the Dog in disgust. How selfish he is! Then he planted his forefeet on his Master's knees and rolled out his tongue to lick the Master's face, as he had seen the Dog do. As he splashed heavily into the water, he crushed a young Frog into the mud. This one had been caught by hounds when his tail had become entangled in the hedge. However small you may be, you are better than nothing at all.
A small gain is worth more than a large promise.
