Aesop's Fables

The Hare and the Hound

A hound scared a hare from a bush and chased him for some distance, but the hare was faster and got away. A goatherd, who happened to pass by at the time, mocked the hound for letting a scrawny hare outrun him.

"You forget," replied the hound, "that it's one thing to run for your dinner and another to run for your life".

Aesop's Fables

The Flies and the Honey Jar

After a jar of honey was knocked over in a kitchen, the flies were attracted by its sweet smell and began eating the honey. Indeed, they swarmed all over it and did not budge from the spot until they had devoured every drop. However, their feet had become so clogged that they could not fly away, no matter how much they tried.

Stymied by their own voracious appetites, they cried out, "What foolish creatures we are! We've thrown away our lives just for the sake of a little pleasure."
