A BULL was striving with all his might to squeeze himself through a narrow passage which led to his stall. A MAN who had traveled in foreign lands boasted very much, on returning to his own country, of the many wonderful and heroic feats he had performed in the different places he had visited. A VERY SKILLFUL BOWMAN went to the mountains in search of game, but all the beasts of the forest fled at his approach. The Lion alone challenged him to combat. A young Calf came up, and offered to go before and show him the way by which he could manage to pass. A BULL, escaping from a Lion, hid in a cave which some shepherds had recently occupied. A BULL finding a lion's cub asleep gored him to death with his horns. The Lioness came up, and bitterly lamented the death of her whelp. An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice. A singing bird was confined in a cage which hung outside a window, and had a way of singing at night when all other birds were asleep. One night a Bat came and clung to the bars of the cage, and asked the Bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night. WHEN MAN first saw the Camel, he was so frightened at his vast size that he ran away. After a time, perceiving the meekness and gentleness of the beast's temper, he summoned courage enough to approach him. A CHARGER, feeling the infirmities of age, was sent to work in a mill instead of going out to battle. 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 Serpent, turning about, bit the Crow with a mortal wound. A TROUBLESOME CROW seated herself on the back of a Sheep. A PRINCE had some Monkeys trained to dance. The spectacle was often repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier, bent on mischief, took from his pocket a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage. The Monkeys at the sight of the nuts forgot their dancing and became (as indeed they were) Monkeys instead of actors. Pulling off their masks and tearing their robes, they fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing spectacle thus came to an end amidst the laughter and ridicule of the audience. A DOE hard pressed by hunters sought refuge in a cave belonging to a Lion. The Lion concealed himself on seeing her approach, but when she was safe within the cave, sprang upon her and tore her to pieces. The expiring lion said, <cline1>. A lion, worn out with years and powerless from disease, lay on the ground at the point of death. The oaks presented a complaint to jupiter, saying, <cline1>. jupiter made answer: <cline2>. The oak said with a sigh, <cline1>. The woodcutter cut down a mountain oak and split it in pieces, making wedges of its own branches for dividing the trunk. A very large oak was uprooted by the wind and thrown across a stream. It fell among some reeds, which it thus addressed: <cline1>. they replied, <cline2>. <cline5>. said the wolf as he galloped away, Well, the farmer thought it best to make it up with the serpent, and brought food and honey to the mouth of its lair, and said to it: <cline1>. <cline2>. said the serpent; <cline3>. <cline1>. said the satyr. <cline2>. said the man, <cline3>. After this they arrived at the satyr's home, and soon the satyr put a smoking dish of porridge before him. But when the man raised his spoon to his mouth he began blowing upon it. <cline4>. said the satyr. <cline5>. <cline6>. said the satyr. <cline7>. After a short time she returned, and when he inquired how she had got on and how the servants had treated her, she replied, <cline1>. he said, <cline2>. The mule, groaning beneath his heavy burden, said to himself: <cline1>. But a countryman who stood by said: <cline1>. <cline5>. said their father. Jupiter was reigning from the top of Olympus. A bull was feeding in a meadow. A townsperson climped up the mountain. A wolf was terrorizing a village. The animals of the forest were having an argument on which animal was the wisest. Two men and two sons were travelling along a rural road. A pilgrim went to visit Acropolis. A farmer one day came to the stables to see to his beasts of burden. A bald knight, who wore a wig, went out to hunt in the forest. A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he espied something shinning amid the straw. <cline1>. quoth he, <cline2>. 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? <cline3>. quoth master cock, <cline4>. A crow caught in a snare prayed to apollo to release him, making a vow to offer some frankincense at his shrine. But when rescued from his danger, he forgot his promise. Shortly afterwards, again caught in a snare, he passed by apollo and made the same promise to offer frankincense to mercury. Mercury soon appeared and said to him, <cline1>. A MAN who had traveled in foreign lands boasted very much, on returning to his own country, of the many wonderful and heroic feats the man had performed in the different places the man had visited. Pulling off their masks and tearing their robes, the monkeys fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing spectacle thus came to an end amidst the laughter and ridicule of the audience. THE OAK fell among some reeds, which the oak thus addressed: <cline1>. the reeds replied, <cline2>. After a short time the woman returned, and when the man inquired how the woman had got on and how the servants had treated her, the woman replied, <cline1>. the man said, <cline2>. But when rescued from his danger, the crow forgot his promise. Shortly afterwards, again caught in a snare, the crow passed by apollo and made the same promise to offer frankincense to mercury.
