Another real Æsop fable from Project Gutenberg
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| A Farmer was greatly annoyed by a Fox, which came prowling about his yard at night and carried off his fowls. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| So he set a trap for him and caught him; and in order to be revenged upon him, he tied a bunch of tow to his tail and set fire to it and let him go. | |

| As ill-luck would have it, however, the Fox made straight for the fields where the corn was standing ripe and ready for cutting. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| It quickly caught fire and was all burnt up, and the Farmer lost all his harvest. | |
| | |
|

|
|
| | |
| So you see, the moral is, When you've captured your enemy, finish him off immediately. | |

| I already knew that. I've seen every Bond movie. | |
