A certain Father had a family of Sons, who were forever quarreling among themselves. Becoming thirsty on the way, he filled his horn at a spring, and was about to drink. Was he as big as this? Go along with you, you stupid Ass, he cried. The Rabbit was quite angry for a Rabbit, and requested the Weasel to move out.
