One bright morning as the Fox was following his sharp nose through the wood in search of a bite to eat, he saw a Crow on the limb of a tree overhead. So there he sat groaning and moaning, both from the discomfort inside him and his anxiety to escape from the basket. He listened with a great deal of admiration to the song of the Grasshoppers. The Ass was very much frightened, but the Fox calmed his fears. The thirsty Goat immediately jumped in and began to drink. But now the Wolves thought of a plan to trick the Sheep. You must come and dine with me today, he said to the Stork, smiling to himself at the trick he was going to play. So he pretended he was lame, and began to hobble painfully. Whatever it is, it is wisest to keep at a safe distance.
Expect no reward for serving the wicked.
