A _Fox_ and a _Cat_.
There was a Question started betwixt a _Fox_ and a _Cat_; which of
the Two could make the best Shift in the World, if they were put to a
Pinch. For my own part, (says _Reynard_,) when the worst comes to the
worst, I have a whole Budget of Tricks to come off with at last. At that
very Instant, up comes a Pack of Dogs full-Cry toward them. The _Cat_
presently takes a Tree, and sees the Poor Fox torn to Pieces upon the
very Spot. Well (says _Puss_ to her self,) One Sure Trick I find is
better than a Hundred Slippery ones.
The MORAL.
_Nature has provided better for us, then we could have done for our
selves._
