The Hen and the Vipers
|
A HEN who had patiently hatched out a brood of vipers, was accosted
by a Swallow, who said: 'What a fool you are to give life to
creatures who will reward you by destroying you.'
'I am a little bit on the destroy myself,' said the Hen, tranquilly
swallowing one of the little reptiles; 'and it is not an act of
folly to provide oneself with the delicacies of the season.'
