Aesop's Fables: The Fox and the Cat
A Fox was bragging to a
JXUwMDFiJXUwMDIyJXUwMDE1
of its clever
JXUwMDNjJXUwMDAxJXUwMDEzJXUwMDFmJXUwMDBhJXUwMDA2JXUwMDE2
for escaping its enemies. "I have a whole bag of tricks," he said, "which contains a hundred ways of
JXUwMDNkJXUwMDE2JXUwMDEwJXUwMDAyJXUwMDExJXUwMDE5JXUwMDA3JXUwMDA5
my enemies."
"I have only
JXUwMDM3JXUwMDAxJXUwMDBi
," said the Cat; "but I can generally manage with that." Just at that moment they heard the cry of a pack of
JXUwMDMwJXUwMDA3JXUwMDFhJXUwMDFiJXUwMDBhJXUwMDE3
coming towards them, and the Cat immediately scampered up a
JXUwMDJjJXUwMDA2JXUwMDE3JXUwMDAw
and hid herself in the boughs.
"This is my
JXUwMDI4JXUwMDFjJXUwMDBkJXUwMDBm
," said the Cat. "What are you going to do?" The
JXUwMDFlJXUwMDI5JXUwMDE3
thought first of one way, then of another, and while he was
JXUwMDNjJXUwMDAxJXUwMDA3JXUwMDAzJXUwMDE1JXUwMDFkJXUwMDA3JXUwMDA5
, the hounds came nearer and nearer, and at last the Fox in his
JXUwMDNiJXUwMDBjJXUwMDAxJXUwMDA4JXUwMDEzJXUwMDA2JXUwMDFhJXUwMDA2JXUwMDAx
was caught up by the hounds and soon killed by the
JXUwMDMwJXUwMDFkJXUwMDFiJXUwMDFhJXUwMDA3JXUwMDFlJXUwMDA4JXUwMDBi
. Miss Puss, who had been looking on, said:
"Better one
JXUwMDJiJXUwMDEyJXUwMDA3JXUwMDAz
way than a hundred on which you cannot reckon."
