A Lion and an Ass agreed to go hunting together. You pretend to be our king, he said, and cannot even take care of yourself! In return you will get tidbits of every kind, chicken bones, choice bits of meat, sugar, cake, and much more beside, not to speak of kind words and caresses. Get away from here, sir, she said to the Grasshopper. Don't you go wherever you please? To teach the Frogs a lesson the ruler of the gods now sent a Crane to be king of Frogland. Send them away and you will see what good friends we shall become. You may be a very good bird, answered the Farmer, but I caught you with the thieving Cranes and you will have to share the same punishment with them.
The loud-mouthed boaster does not impress nor frighten those who know him.
