The Ass and the Frogs
AN ASS,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], carrying a load of wood,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], passed through a pond. As he
was crossing through the water he lost his footing, stumbled and
fell, and not being able to rise on account of his load, groaned
heavily. Some Frogs frequenting the pool heard his lamentation,
and said, "What would you do if you had to live here always as we
do, when you make such a fuss about a mere fall into the water?"
Men often bear little grievances with less courage than they do
large misfortunes.
The Crow and the Raven
A CROW was jealous of the Raven, because he was considered a
bird of good omen and always attracted the attention of men, who
noted by his flight the good or evil course of future events. Seeing
some travelers approaching, the Crow flew up into a tree, and
perching herself on one of the branches, cawed as loudly as she
could. The travelers turned towards the sound and wondered what
it foreboded, when one of them said to his companion, "Let us
proceed on our journey, my friend, for it is only the caw of a
crow, and her cry, you know, is no omen."
Those who assume a character which does not belong to them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
only make themselves ridiculous.
