One bright evening as the sun was sinking on a glorious world a wise old Cock flew into a tree to roost. Indeed he became about three times as big around the middle as he was when he went in. Very well, said his master, go your way, you willful beast, and see where it leads you. If it were not for those Dogs who are always stirring up trouble, I am sure we should get along beautifully. Wolf!, As he expected, the Villagers who heard the cry dropped their work and ran in great excitement to the pasture. Why, I am only a Bird! They soon made him feel so ridiculous that he dropped the basket and seized a large piece of roast meat intended for his master's dinner. The Farmer, of course, knew the Cranes and their ways. He visited the hen house very often and at last got so greedy that he would swallow the eggs whole. To win you I would have said and promised anything, replied the Kite.
In unity is strength.
