Some Boys were playing one day at the edge of a pond in which lived a family of Frogs. As he crossed a narrow footbridge, he happened to look down and saw himself reflected in the quiet water as if in a mirror. they said laughing, what do you call it, father? But the greedy Dog thought he saw a real Dog carrying a bone much bigger than his own. But he did not bring any stones with him. No, no! exclaimed the Fox, do not disturb them! The Stork begged the Farmer to spare him. Without more ado, he dived and left the foolish Monkey to take care of himself, while he swam off in search of some human being to save.
Be sure of your pedigree before you boast of it.
