| THE LABORING MAN AND THE OSTRICH
(The Wild Boar and the Ostrich) A Wild Boar was sharpening his tusks, when an Ostrich, coming by, asked why he did so. "I can see no reason for it," said she; "there is neither hunter, nor hound in sight, nor any other danger that I can see, at hand." "You would do well to look again," replied the Wild Boar; "and remember, when my enemies be upon me, I shall have something else to do than sharpen my weapons." |
