A Fox was caught in a trap one fine morning, because he had got too near the Farmer's hen house. The Sheep in the pasture were much astonished and amused at the Pig's behavior, and followed the Shepherd and his charge to the pasture gate. The Wheels of the wagon were of a different sort. He had to squeeze himself a good deal to get through the narrow opening between the strips of the basket. On the way they passed a pond where a family of Frogs was sitting among the reeds on the bank. The Dog could creep inside and the Cock would fly up on one of the branches. I learned a lesson from the Ass, replied the Fox, carefully edging away.
One falsehood leads to another.
