The Fox and the Cat
The Fox and the Cat
A Fox was boasting to a Cat of its clever devices for escaping its enemies.
"I have a whole bag of tricks," he said, "which contains a hundred ways of escaping my enemies."
"I have only one," said the Cat; "but I can generally manage with that."
Just
at that moment they heard the cry of a pack of hounds coming towards
them, and the Cat immediately scampered up a tree and hid herself in the
boughs.
"This is my plan," said the Cat. "What are you going to do?"
The
Fox thought first of one way, then of another, and while he was
debating the hounds came nearer and nearer, and at last the Fox in his
confusion was caught up by the hounds and soon killed by the huntsmen.
Miss Puss, who had been looking on, said:
Moral of Aesop's Fable: Better one safe way than a hundred on which you cannot reckon
