The Fox and the Mosquitoes
An Aesop's Fable
A Fox in the wake of intersection a stream got its tail entrapped in a bramble, and couldn't move. Various Mosquitoes seeing its situation settled upon it and delighted in a decent feast undisturbed by its tail. A hedgehog walking around took pity upon the Fox and went up to him:
"You are badly, neighbor," said the hedgehog; "might I mitigate you by driving off those Mosquitoes who are sucking your blood?"
"Much obliged to you, Master Hedgehog," said the Fox, "however I would rather not."
"Why, how is that?" asked the hedgehog.
"All things considered, you see," was the answer, "these Mosquitoes have had their fill; on the off chance that you push these away, others will accompany new voracity and drain me to death."
