THE STAG AND THE VINEYARD

A Stag hid himself from the hunters in a vineyard. When the hunters

missed him, the Stag began to nibble at the grape-vine leaves.

The hunters noticed that the leaves were moving, and so they thought,

"There must be an animal under those leaves," and fired their guns, and

wounded the Stag.

The Stag said, dying:

"It serves me right for wanting to eat the leaves that saved me."
