A Bull once escaped from a Lion by entering a cave which the Goatherds used to house their flocks in stormy weather and at night. When they reached home the Man prepared two bowls of porridge. Yes, yes, answered the Stag confidently, the Wolf has promised to be my surety. So standing on tip-toes he flapped his wings and crowed lustily. Spare no energy and leave no spot unturned in your search. Do you really think you can provide for me? asked the Eagle eagerly. But we should feel very much ashamed to make such a terrible fuss about it like you do. The slightest breeze that ruffles the surface of the water makes you bow your heads, while I, the mighty Oak, stand upright and firm before the howling tempest. Isn't it enough that I let you take your head out of my mouth without snapping it off?
There is nothing worth so much as liberty.
