A little hungry Mouse found his way one day into a basket of corn. Do come down, dear friend, and let us celebrate the joyful event. He had had experience with such birds before. Rolling himself in flour until he was covered completely, he lay down in the flour bin, with one eye open for the Mice. All fell to lapping up the water as fast as they could. They made several attempts to steal it from him. Thus ungratefully, O Jupiter, do men receive their blessings!
Once a wolf, always a wolf.
