Fable #894

previous | next

A Cat was growing very thin. As you have guessed, he did not get enough to eat. It is a chest of gold lost from some wreck, they cried. Chickens and Geese fell by the score--and the victor always stopped for a feast. When a man decides to do his own work and not depend on any one else, then you may be sure there will be no more delay. No doubt he was hungry, but that was not an excuse for stealing. Then he turned to the Fox. You divide it, he roared angrily. Now you see that even a Mouse can help a Lion.

Be sure you can better your condition before you seek to change.
