The Swallow and the Crow had an argument one day about their plumage. The Crane proved to be a very different sort of king from old King Log. Mercury was greatly pleased with the Woodman's honesty. His dancing was very clever indeed, and the animals were all highly pleased with his grace and lightness. Hurrying to King Monkey, he told him he had found a rich treasure, which he had not touched because it belonged by right to his majesty the Monkey. All this the Ass saw with much discontent. And when the farmer put his shoulder to the wheel and urged on the horses, the wagon moved very readily, and soon the Farmer was riding along in great content and with a good lesson learned.
Do not expect constancy in others if you have none yourself.
