At a great meeting of the Animals, who had gathered to elect a new ruler, the Monkey was asked to dance. 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. The foolish Goat now saw what a plight he had got into, and begged the Fox to help him out. But if you are divided among yourselves, you will be no stronger than a single stick in that bundle.
Deeds count, not boasting words.
