Wise Judge Hornet quickly understood why they did so: They knew they could not build a honey comb and fill it with honey. He looked the Toad over very carefully.

And when the Fox began his performance all over again, so dazed did they become, that they lost their hold on the limb, and fell down one by one to the Fox.
Be wise and shun the quack.
