| | The Fox And The BrambleA Fox was mounting a hedge when he lost his footing and caught hold
 of a Bramble to save himself. Having pricked and grievously tom the
 soles of his feet, he accused the Bramble because, when he had fled
 to her for assistance, she had used him worse than the hedge itself.
 The Bramble, interrupting him, said, "But you really must have been
 out of your senses to fasten yourself on me, who am myself always
 accustomed to fasten upon others." |
