A _Fox_ and a _Crab_.
A Fox that was sharp-set, Surpriz’d a _Crab_, as he lay out of the Sea
upon the Sands, and Carry’d him away. The _Crab_, when he found that he
was to be Eaten, Well (says he) This comes of Meddling where we have
Nothing to do; for My Bus’ness lay at Sea, not upon the Land.
The MORAL.
_No Body Pities a Man for any Misfortune that Befals him, in Matters out
of his Way, Bus’ness, or Calling._
