A Traveler had hired an Ass to carry him to a distant part of the country. The hungry Stork was much displeased at the trick, but he was a calm, even-tempered fellow and saw no good in flying into a rage. One evening he was walking along the open road outside the village. The next day, dressed in the skin, the Wolf strolled into the pasture with the Sheep. The foolish bird got the idea that if he lived like the Swan, swimming and diving all day long and eating the weeds and plants that grow in the water, his feathers would turn white like the Swan's. Besides, I did not know the Cranes were going to steal. I should be glad to do as you ask, he added, but I have noticed that there are many footprints leading into your cave and none coming out. Then handing the bundle to each of his Sons in turn he told them to try to break it. They had not gone ten paces before the Earthen Pot cracked, and at the next jolt he flew into a thousand pieces.
It all depends on the point of view, and who tells the story.
