A Lion had been watching three Bullocks feeding in an open field. The Hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the Tortoise, but for the fun of the thing he agreed. The Frog puffed up still more. Hurrying to the tree where the Cock was roosting, he said very politely: A hearty welcome to our woods, honored sir. The Pheasants stared giddily. Besides, I have a very important errand that I had almost forgotten about. The hungry but unsuspecting Fox, went around the tree as he was told, and in a twinkling the Dog had seized him.
A resemblance to the great in some things does not make us great.
