AN ASS and a Cock were in a straw-yard together when a Lion,
desperate from hunger, approached the spot. He was about to
spring upon the Ass,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when the Cock (to the sound of whose voice
the Lion, it is said, has a singular aversion) crowed loudly, and
the Lion fled away as fast as he could. The Ass,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], observing his
trepidation at the mere crowing of a Cock summoned courage to
attack him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and galloped after him for that purpose. He had run
no long distance, when the Lion, turning about, seized him and
tore him to pieces.
False confidence often leads into danger.
The Mice and the Weasels
THE WEASELS and the Mice waged a perpetual war with each
other,in which much blood was shed. The Weasels were always
the victors. The Mice thought that the cause of their frequent
defeats was that they had no leaders set apart from the general
army to command them, and that they were exposed to dangers
from lack of discipline.
