A Wolf had been hurt in a fight with a Bear. But just as the Country Mouse was about to nibble a dainty bit of pastry, she heard a Cat mew loudly and scratch at the door. He was unable to move and could not satisfy his hunger and thirst. All he did was to curse his bad luck and call loudly on Hercules to come to his aid. They must have heard the good news and But the Fox did not wait to hear more. Do you think I would trust you on such security? As they pulled him out of the mud, one of them said: You pretend to read the future in the stars, and yet you fail to see what is at your feet! Soon a little Lamb was following him about and was quickly led away to slaughter. Of course, they were all hungry, and helped themselves freely to the Stag's food; and as you would expect, the Stag soon starved to death.
It is very foolish to be greedy.
