        The Lion, the Mouse, and the Fox


There was a Lion who was tired by the heat of a summer's day, fell fast asleep in his den.

A Mouse ran over his neck and ears and woke him from his sleep.

He rose up and shook himself in great anger, and searched every corner of his den to find the Mouse.

A Fox seeing him said: "A fine Lion you are, to be frightened of a Mouse."

"It is not the Mouse I fear," said the Lion; "I resent his familiarity and ill-breeding."

Moral: Little liberties are great offenses.
