THE HERON WHO WAS HARD TO PLEASE

A heron having bolted down too large a fish, burst its deep gullet-bag

and lay down on the shore to die. A kite seeing it, exclaimed: "You

richly deserve your fate; for a bird of the air has no business to seek

its food from the sea."

_Everyone should be content to mind his own business._
