The Bat and the Weasels
A BAT who fell upon the ground and was
caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his
life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was
by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured
him that he was not a bird, but a
mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards
the Bat again fell to the ground and
was caughtby another Weasel, whom he likewise
entreated not to eat him. The Weasel
said that he had a special hostility to mice.
The Bat assured him that he was not a
mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.
It is wise to turn circumstances to
good account.
