PREFACE
FOOTNOTES

The Cock and the Pearl

A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard
among the hens when suddenly he espied something
shinning amid the straw. Ho! ho! quoth he, that's for
me, and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. What
did it turn out to be but a Pearl that by some chance had
been lost in the yard? You may be a treasure, quoth
Master Cock, to men that prize you, but for me I would
rather have a single barley corn than a peck of pearls.
Precious things are for those that can prize them.

The Wolf and the Lamb

Once upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on a
hillside, when, looking up, what should he see but a Lamb
just beginning to drink a little lower down. There's my
supper, thought he, if only I can find some excuse to
seize it. Then he called out to the Lamb, How dare you
muddle the water from which I am drinking?
Nay, master, nay, said Lambikin; if the water be
muddy up there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs
down from you to me.
Well, then, said the Wolf, why did you call me bad
names this time last year?
That cannot be, said the Lamb; I am only six months
old.
I don't care, snarled the Wolf; if it was not you it was
your father; and with that he rushed upon the poor little
Lamb and .WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA
WARRA .ate her all up. But before she died she gasped
out . Any excuse will serve a tyrant.

The Dog and the Shadow

It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was
carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now on
his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a
running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw
his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking
it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made
up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the
shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the
piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was
never seen more.
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the
shadow.
