A Boy was given permission to put his hand into a pitcher to get some filberts. I will talk to him, he said, So the Fox walked boldly up to the Lion. The Wolf would gladly have eaten him then and there, but the House Dog looked strong enough to leave his marks should he try it. Now the jealous Ass got it into his silly head that all he had to do to win his Master's favor was to act like the Dog. They had to use all their strength to pull the wagon, but they did not complain. He pulled the Mouse down under the water and drowned him. Of course all the proud mammas from far and near brought their babies. Clinging to the straw like a shipwrecked sailor to a broken spar, the Ant floated safely to shore. But just as he cast the stone, the Ant stung him in the heel, so that the pain made him miss his aim, and the startled Dove flew to safety in a distant wood.
Do not try to do impossible things.
