A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise one day for being so slow. The winds do not harm us. The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. What a fool I am, he said, Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for. A Countryman chanced to see the unequal combat. The man took off his cap and mopped his brow. But come, I know a good place to hide till he is gone. Why, I know a whole sackful of tricks! Now I promise you a full-grown Bull, if you but make the thief go away!
Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.
