Some men sought out a hart for the chase, when one made a rush out of the wood, and hid from them in the shade of a thick vine, so that they quite lost sight of him. It was the best hide and seek that could be, so thought the stag, but he hid not for the sport, but for dear life. There he lay, still as a mouse. In a short time he took heart to browse on the leaves of the vine, which hungso green and fresh just at his nose. He saw no harm in one more crop, and then one more, till he quite lost sight of what he had come there for. More than this, he so shook the tree when he took a bite, that he drew the eyes of the men to the spot, and as the vine was now too thin of leaves to hide him, they shot at him, and he fell down dead.

One hot day a wolf came to quench his thirst at a clear brook that ran down the side of a hill By chance a younglamb stood there. The wolf had a ish to eat her, but felt some qualms, so for a plea he made out that the lamb was his foe. Stand off from the banks, sir, said he, for as you tread them you stir mud in the =stream, and all I can get to drink is thick and foul. The young lamb said, in a mild tone, that she did not see how that could be the case, as the brook ran down hill to her from the spot where he stood.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
