A Farmer walked through his field one cold winter morning. In mournful croaks they begged Jupiter to take away the cruel tyrant before they should all be destroyed. At last a very young Mouse got up and said: I have a plan that seems very simple, but I know it will be successful. The Cattle looked at the Dog in disgust. How selfish he is! Then he planted his forefeet on his Master's knees and rolled out his tongue to lick the Master's face, as he had seen the Dog do. As he splashed heavily into the water, he crushed a young Frog into the mud. This one had been caught by hounds when his tail had become entangled in the hedge. My friend, he said, I know what you've been doing. Just then the Father came within sight of the home, and the Wolf was barely able to save himself from the Dogs by a clever bit of running.
Two sureties are better than one.
