A _Hedge-Hog_ and a _Snake_.
A _Snake_ was prevail’d upon in a Cold Winter, to take a _Hedge-Hog_ into
his Cell; but when he was Once in, the Place was so Narrow, that the
Prickles of the _Hedge-Hog_ were very Troublesome to his Companion: so
that the _Snake_ told him, he must needs Provide for Himself somewhere
else, for the Hole was not Big enough to Hold them Both. Why then, says
the _Hedge-Hog_, He that cannot _Stay_ shall do Well to _Go_: But for my
Own Part, I am e’en Content where I am, and if You be not so too, Y’re
Free to Remove.
