OTE.

Sixteen of these Twenty Fables have been handed down to us in a Greek form:

for these Halm's text has been used. As to the other fourNumber IX. is from

Phaedrus, and retains a flavour of artificiality; Numbers XIII. and XX. are fromLatin versions; and Number X. is from a French one.

The Translations aim at replacing the florid style of our older English versions,

and the stilted harshness of more modern ones, by a plainness and terseness

more nearly like the character of the originals.

In the following cases the Translations have been adapted to the Designs. InNumber I. cheese has been put formeat; in Number VIII. apack of Hounds for

aLion; in Number XI. a Storkfor a Crane; in Number XIX. aFrogfor a Toad;

and in Number VII. the Dog should be tied up. The reason of this is, that in the

collaboration the Designer and Translator have not been on terms of equal

authority; the former has stood unshakeably by English tradition, and has had

his own way.

THE FOX AD THE CROW.

A Crow stole a piece of cheese and alighted with it on a tree. A Fox watched

her, and wishing to get hold of the cheese stood underneath and began to make

compliments upon her size and beauty; he went so far as to say that she had the

best of claims to be made Queen of the Birds, and doubtless it would have been

done if she had only had a voice. The Crow, anxious to prove to him that she

did possess a voice, began to caw vigorously, of course dropping the cheese.

The Fox pounced upon it and carried it off, remarking as he went away, "My

good friend Crow, you have every good quality: now try to get some common

sense."

An Ass who had dressed himself up in a Lion's skin was mistaken by everybody

for a lion, and there was a stampede of both herds and men. But presently the

skin was whisked off by a gust of wind, and the Ass stood exposed; and then

the men all charged at him, and with sticks and cudgels gave him a sound

drubbing.

A Fisherman cast his net and caught a little Fish. The little Fish begged him to

let him go for the present, as he was so small, and to catch him again to more

purpose later on, when he was bulkier. But the Fisherman said: "Nay, I should

be a very simpleton to let go a good thing I have got and run after a doubtful

expectation."

THE JACKDAW AD THE DOVES.

A Jackdaw observing how well cared for were the Doves in a certain dovecote,

whitewashed himself and went to take a part in the same way of living. The

Doves were friendly enough so long as he kept silence, taking him for one of

themselves; but when he once forgot himself and gave a croak they immediately

perceived his character, and cuffed him out. So the Jackdaw, having failed in

getting a share of good things there, returned to his brother Jackdaws. But these

latter not recognising him, because of his colour, kept him out of their mess

also; so that in his desire for two things he got neither.

THE COPPERSMITH AD HIS PUPPY.

A certain Coppersmith had a Puppy. While the Coppersmith was at work the

Puppy lay asleep; but when meal-time came he woke up. So his master,

throwing him a bone, said: "You sleepy little wretch of a Puppy, what shall I do

with you, you inveterate sluggard? When I am thumping on my anvil you can


f 58 12/8/2010 4:28 AM

go to sleep on the mat; but when I come to work my teeth immediately you are

wide awake and wagging your tail at me."

THE FROGS DESIRIG A KIG

THE FROGS DESIRIG A KIG.

The Frogs were grieved at their own lawless condition, so they sent a

deputation to Zeus begging him to provide them with a King. Zeus, perceiving


f 58 12/8/2010 4:28 AM


18/58

their simplicity, dropped a Log of wood into the pool. At first the Frogs were

terrified by the splash, and dived to the bottom; but after a while, seeing the

Log remain motionless, they came up again, and got to despise it so much that

they climbed up and sat on it. Dissatisfied with a King like that, they came

again to Zeus and entreated him to change their ruler for them, the first being

altogether too torpid. Then Zeus was exasperated with them, and sent them aStork, by whom they were seized and eaten up.

THE DOG AD THE WOLF

THE DOG AD THE WOLF.

A Wolf, seeing a large Dog with a collar on, asked him: "Who put that collar

round your neck, and fed you to be so sleek?" "My master," answered the Dog.

"Then," said the Wolf, "may no friend of mine be treated like this; a collar is as


f 58 12/8/2010 4:28 AM

grievous as starvation."

THE STAG LOOKIG ITO THE

WATER

THE STAG LOOKIG ITO THE WATER.

A Stag parched with thirst came to a spring of water. As he was drinking he saw

his own reflection on the water, and was in raptures with his horns when he


f 58 12/8/2010 4:28 AM


22/58

observed their splendid size and shape, but was troubled about his legs, they

seemed so thin and weak. As he was still musing, some huntsmen with a pack

of hounds appeared and disturbed him, whereupon the Stag took to flight, and

keeping a good distance ahead so long as the plain was free from trees, he was

being saved; but when he came to a woody place he got his horns entangled in

the branches, and being unable to move was seized by the hounds. When hewas at the point of death he said to himself: "What a fool am I, who was on the

way to be saved by the very things which I thought would fail me; while by

those in which I so much trusted I am brought to ruin."

THE FROGS AD THE FIGHTIG

BULLS

THE FROGS AD THE FIGHTIG BULLS.

A Frog in his marsh looking at some Bulls fighting, exclaimed: "O dear! what

sad destruction threatens us now!" Another Frog asked him why he said that,

seeing that the Bulls were only fighting for the first place in the herd, and that


f 58 12/8/2010 4:28 AM


24/58

they lived quite remote from the Frogs. "Ah," said the first, "it is true that our

positions are wide apart, and we are different kinds of things, but still, the Bull

who will be driven from the rule of the pasture will come to lie in hiding in the

marsh, and crush us to death under his hard hoofs, so that their raging really

does closely concern the lives of you and me."

THE LIO AD OTHER BEASTS

THE LIO AD OTHER BEASTS.

The Lion one day went out hunting along with three other Beasts, and they

caught a Stag. With the consent of the others the Lion divided it, and he cut it


f 58 12/8/2010 4:28 AM


26/58

into four equal portions; but when the others were going to take hold of their

shares, "Gently, my friends," said the Lion; "the first of these portions is mine,

as one of the party; the second also is mine, because of my rank among beasts;

the third you will yield me as a tribute to my courage and nobleness of

character; while, as to the fourth,why, if any one wishes to dispute with me

for it, let him begin, and we shall soon see whose it will be."

THE FOX AD THE STORK.


f 58 12/8/2010 4:28 AM


28/58

The Fox poured out some rich soup upon a flat dish, tantalising the Stork, and

making him look ridiculous, for the soup, being a liquid, foiled all the efforts of

his slender beak. In return for this, when the Stork invited the Fox, he brought

the dinner on the table in a jug with a long narrow neck, so that while he

himself easily inserted his beak and took his fill, the Fox was unable to do the

same, and so was properly paid off.

THE HORSE AD THE STAG

THE HORSE AD THE STAG.

There was a Horse who had a meadow all to himself until a Stag came and


f 58 12/8/2010 4:28 AM


30/58

began to injure the pasture. The Horse, eager to punish the Stag, asked a man

whether there was any way of combining to do this. "Certainly," said the Man,

"if you don't object to a bridle and to my mounting you with javelins in my

hand." The Horse agreed, and was mounted by the Man; but, instead of being

revenged on the Stag, he himself became a servant to the Man.

THE COCK AD THE JEWEL.

A Barn-door Cock while scratching up his dunghill came upon a Jewel. "Oh,

why," said he, "should I find this glistening thing? If some jeweller had found it

he would have been beside himself with joy at the thought of its value; but to

me it is of no manner of use, nor do I care one jot about it; why, I would rather

have one grain of barley than all the jewels in the world."

THE ASS, THE LIO, AD THE COCK.

An Ass and a Cock were in a shed. A hungry Lion caught sight of the Ass, and

was on the point of entering the shed to devour him. But he took fright at the

sound of the Cock crowing (for people say that Lions are afraid at the voice of

a Cock), and turned away and ran. The Ass, roused to a lofty contempt of him

for being afraid of a Cock, went out to pursue him; but when they were some

distance away the Lion ate him up.

THE WOLF AD THE LAMB.

A Wolf seeing a Lamb drinking at a brook, took it into his head that he would

find some plausible excuse for eating him. So he drew near, and, standing

higher up the stream, began to accuse him of disturbing the water andpreventing him from drinking.

The Lamb replied that he was only touching the water with the tips of his lips;

and that, besides, seeing that he was standing down stream, he could not

possibly be disturbing the water higher up. So the Wolf, having done no good

by that accusation, said: "Well, but last year you insulted my Father." The

Lamb replying that at that time he was not born, the Wolf wound up by saying:

"However ready you may be with your answers, I shall none the less make a

meal of you."

A Man whose hair was turning gray had two Wives, one young and the other

old. The elderly woman felt ashamed at being married to a man younger than

herself, and made it a practice whenever he was with her to pick out all his

black hairs; while the younger, anxious to conceal the fact that she had an

elderly husband, used, similarly, to pull out the gray ones. So, between them, it

ended in the Man being completely plucked, and becoming bald.

THE FOX WITHOUT A TAIL.

A Fox had had his tail docked off in a trap, and in his disgrace began to think

his life not worth living. It therefore occurred to him that the best thing he

could do was to bring the other Foxes into the same condition, and so conceal

his own deficiency in the general distress. Having assembled them all together

he recommended them to cut off their tails, declaring that a tail was an

ungraceful thing; and, further, was a heavy appendage, and quite superfluous.

To this one of them rejoined: "My good friend, if this had not been to your own

advantage you would never have advised us to do it."

THE EAGLE AD THE FOX.

An Eagle and a Fox entered into a covenant of mutual affection and resolved tolive near one another, looking upon close intercourse as a way of strengthening

friendship. Accordingly the former flew to the top of a high tree and built her

nest, while the latter went into a bush at the foot and placed her litter there.

One day, however, when the Fox was away foraging, the Eagle, being hard

pressed for food, swooped down into the bush, snatched up the cubs and

helped her own fledglings to devour them. When the Fox came back and saw

what had happened she was not so much vexed at the death of her young ones

as at the impossibility of requital. For the Eagle having wings and she none,

pursuit was impossible. So she stood some distance away and did all that is left

for the weak and impotent to dopoured curses on her foe. But the Eagle was


f 58 12/8/2010 4:28 AM


46/58

not to put off for long the punishment due to her violation of the sacred tie of

friendship. It happened that some country-people were sacrificing a goat, and

the Eagle flew down and carried away from the altar some of the burning flesh.

But when she had got it to her eyrie a strong wind got up and kindled into

flame the thin dry twigs of the nest, so that the eaglets, being too young to be

able to fly, were roasted, and fell to the ground. Then the Fox ran up and,before the Eagle's eyes, devoured them every one.

THE OX AD THE FROG.

An Ox, as he was drinking at the water's edge, crushed a young Frog underfoot.

When the mother Frog came to the spot (for she happened to be away at the

time) she asked his brothers where he was. "He is dead, mother," they said; "a

few minutes ago a great big four-legged thing came up and crushed him dead

with his hoof." Thereupon the Frog began to puff herself out and ask whether

the animal was as big as that. "Stop, mother, don't put yourself about," they

said; "you will burst in two long before you can make yourself the same size as

that beast."

A Hawk giving headlong chase to a Dove rushed after it into a farmstead, and

him go, saying that he had never done him any harm. "No," rejoined the man;

"nor had this Dove harmed you."

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of

electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers

including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists

because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from

people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with theassistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's

goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will

remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure

and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg

Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide

spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of

increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be

freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest

array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt

status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United

States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a

considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up

with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations

where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To

SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any

particular state visit http://pglaf.org

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we

have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibitionagainst accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who

approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from

outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation

methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other

ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronicworks.

Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm

concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared

with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project

Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed

editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.

unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily

keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

http://www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary

Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to

subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
