A Fox was caught in a trap one fine morning, because he had got too near the Farmer's hen house. said a voice from the Plane Tree. I admit that I have been very greedy and have devoured many sheep. What have you Wheels to complain about so loudly? He made so many trips that a Thief, who had been observing him, guessed what it was the Miser had hidden, and one night quietly dug up the treasure and made off with it. But instead of awakening the farmer, he awakened a Fox not far off in the wood. The Leopard was about to lose his temper when the Fox got up, yawning lazily. But as he ran his wide-spreading antlers caught in the branches of the trees, and soon the Panther overtook him. And that was all the sympathy the poor Mouse got.
The evil doer often comes to harm through his own deceit.
