A Cat was growing very thin. As you have guessed, he did not get enough to eat. The Fox prided himself on his fine bushy tail with its tip of white, but he was wise enough to see that he could not rival the Leopard in looks. In great terror the Shepherd fell on his knees. The Woodman told what had happened, and straightway the kind Mercury dived into the pool. No words he could say did the least good, so he cast about in his mind for some very striking example that should make them see that discord would lead them to misfortune. So he went away pulling in his belt and promising to return. The young Larks in their nest close by were much frightened, for they knew they would be in great danger if they did not leave the nest before the reapers came. To win you I would have said and promised anything, replied the Kite.
Set your sails with the wind.
