There was once a Cat who was so watchful, that a Mouse hardly dared show the tip of his whiskers for fear of being eaten alive. Please, Mr. Wolf, he said trembling, I know you are going to eat me. When they saw the danger the Master was in from the clumsy beast, they set upon the Ass and drove him with kicks and blows back to the stable. They had crossed this river many times before without accident, but this time the Ass slipped and fell when halfway over. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Take care! he cried. That may be a heap of meal, but it looks to me very much like the Cat. You can never be too sure, said the Kid, when he saw the Wolf making off to the woods.
Be sure you can better your condition before you seek to change.
