An Ant, going to a river to drink, fell in, and was carried along in the stream.

 A Dove pitied her condition, and threw into the river a small bough, by means of which the Ant gained the shore.

 The Ant afterward, seeing a man with a fowling-piece aiming at the Dove, stung him in the foot sharply, and made him miss his aim, and so saved the Dove's life.

A SNAKE, having made his hole close to the porch of a cottage, inflicted a mortal bite on the Cottager's infant son.

The North Wind boasted of great strength. The Sun argued that there was great power in gentleness.

Far below, a man traveled a winding road. He was wearing a warm winter coat.

"As a test of strength," said the Sun, "Let us see which of us can take the coat off of that man."

The Weasels and the Mice waged a perpetual war with each other, in which much blood was shed.

 The Weasels were always the victors. The Mice thought that the cause of their frequent defeats was that they had no leaders set apart from the general army to command them, and that they were exposed to dangers from lack of discipline.

 The Oxen once upon a time sought to destroy the Butchers, who practiced a trade destructive to their race.

  They assembled on a certain day to carry out their purpose, and sharpened their horns for the contest.
