A Porcupine, seeking for shelter, desired some Snakes to give him
admittance into their cave. They accordingly let him in, but were
afterward so annoyed by his sharp, prickly quills that they repented of
their easy compliance, and entreated him to withdraw and leave them
their hole to themselves.
"No, no," said he, "let them quit the place that don't like it; for my
part, I am very well satisfied as I am."
