      The Victor and the Victim


There were two Game Cocks, having fought a battle, the defeated one ran away and hid himself, but the victor mounted a wall and crowed lustily.

This attracted the attention of a hawk, who said:

"Behold! how pride go down before a fall."

So he pounced down upon the boasting bird and was about to destroy him, when the defeated Cock came out of his hiding-place, and between the two the Hawk was fortunately defeated.
