An old Toad once informed all his neighbors that he was a learned doctor. Your honor, he said, the case has now been pending for six weeks. Why do you do that? asked the Satyr. Thus it happened that the axe slipped and flew out of his hands into the pool. The Lion felt a flash of anger. The Ants shrugged their shoulders in disgust. Making music, were you? they cried. Now the Fox made as if to climb a tree, now he fell over and lay still, playing dead, and the next instant he was hopping on all fours, his back in the air, and his bushy tail shaking so that it seemed to throw out silver sparks in the moonlight. And all the milk flowed out, and with it vanished butter and eggs and chicks and new dress and all the milkmaid's pride.
Do not give up friends for foes.
