Excerpt from Reynard the FoxYou are not the only one he has harmed, said the Dog. One winter, great King, Reynard stole my last meal, a piece of sausage which I had hidden in a bush.You have little to grumble about, said the Wild Cat. The sausage was mine, your Majesty! I took it from a shelfin the mill while the miller's wife was asleep. The Dog stole it from me.Look what Reynard did to the Hare said the Panther, pointing to a wound in the Hare's neck. This poor fellow met the Fox last week. Let me teach you how to say your prayers in Latin,' said Reynard, 'and then you will be able to take a good post in the church.' The Hare agreed, and Reynard made him get down on his knees, but before he had said half-a-dozen words Reynard seized him by the throat, and if I had not come along just then he certainly would have killed him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

There are two questions for you to consider. First, have you ever thought of somebody you considered to be not very bright, a "bird brain"? If you have, you will likely eliminate that phrase from your vocabulary if you read this fable. Second, and this is a two-part question, have you ever set out to accomplish a goal, indeed a greedy goal if truth be known, through which you would emerge the sole victor? And might you have ever seen that selfish motive slowly evaporate before you, to be unexpectedly replaced by feelings of the heart? If you have answered yes to either of these questions, welcome to the realm of The Fishing Raven.
