One day as an Ass was walking in the pasture, he found some Grasshoppers chirping merrily in a grassy corner of the field. Why are you doing that? asked the Fox at last with a grin. If I should bring you a drink, it would only serve to wash me down your throat. One day he even went so far as to leave his flock in the Wolf's care while he went on an errand. The Goat thought the Fox had gone down to drink, and so he asked if the water was good. Why, of course, replied the Kite. They persuaded the Dogs to go away, and that very evening the Wolves had the grandest feast of their lives.
Greatness has its penalties.
