A Bat who fell
upon the ground
and was caught by
a Weasel pleaded
to be spared his
life. The Weasel
refused, saying
that he was by
nature the enemy
of all birds. The
Bat assured him
that he was not a
bird, but a mouse,
and thus was set
free. Shortly
afterwards the
Bat again fell to
the ground and
was caught by
another
Weasel,whom he
likewise entreated
not to eat him. The
Weasel said that
he had a special
hostility to mice.
The Bat assured
him that he was
not a mouse, but a
bat, and thus a
second time
escaped.
It is wise to turn
circumstances to
good account.
