TheBat and the Weasels
A bat who fellupon the ground and was caught by a weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The weaselrefused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The bat assuredhim that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortlyafterwards the bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another weasel,whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The weasel said that he had aspecial hostility to mice. The bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but abat, and thus a second time escaped.
It is wise to turn circumstances to goodaccount.
