One day as an Ass was walking in the pasture, he found some Grasshoppers chirping merrily in a grassy corner of the field. He was very angry to think that any animal that he chose for a meal, should be so brazen as to wear such dangerous things as horns to scratch him while he ate. Just then they heard a shout of Stop, thief! No, answered the honest Woodman, that is not my axe. The road led across a treeless plain where the Sun beat down fiercely. But much to the Satyr's surprise, the Man began to blow into his bowl of porridge. Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, she gnawed it until it parted, and soon the Lion was free. One day the Wolf ran down a Stag and immediately called his comrades to divide the spoil. One set her foot on the log. The other did likewise. You may be a very good bird, answered the Farmer, but I caught you with the thieving Cranes and you will have to share the same punishment with them.
An invitation prompted by selfishness is not to be accepted.
