A Boy, stung by a Nettle, ran home crying, to get his mother to blow on the hurt and kiss it. The greedy Monkey followed the Fox to the trap. So with much rustling of feathers and a fierce air, he came down swiftly on the back of a large Ram. He decided to take a stroll to the meadow not far inland. Approaching the Ass, he said with a laugh: If you had kept your mouth shut you might have frightened me, too. So the Fox, who had consented to act as judge, marked the distance and started the runners off. Now the heat had affected the Driver as much as it had the Traveler, and even more, for he had been walking. The most stupid of the three is not the one you would expect it to be. Why, I have eyes and ears and as many legs as he! When that Lion leaves, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget.
Always stop to think whether your fun may not be the cause of another's unhappiness.
