The Fox one day thought of a plan to amuse himself at the expense of the Stork, at whose odd appearance he was always laughing. The Fox wasted no time in talking. Nothing at all, replied the Dog. You carried on scandalously with Mr. Bumble Bee and you made eyes at every single Bug you could see. The man who had found the purse fell into a panic. My sons, he said, heed what I have to say to you. But the Cat, who was still hungry for Mice, knew more tricks than one. I am sure he was just about to speak to me when the monster I have told you about let out a screaming yell, and I ran for my life. But the porter was a huge Dog whom the Wolf knew by painful experience to be very unkind toward wolves. And when the Fox began his performance all over again, so dazed did they become, that they lost their hold on the limb, and fell down one by one to the Fox.
Two sureties are better than one.
