The Cat and the Birds.A Cat, hearing that the Birds in a certain aviary were ailing, dressedhimself up as a physician, and, taking with him his cane and theinstruments becoming his profession, went to the aviary, knocked at thedoor, and inquired of the inmates how they all did, saying that if theywere ill, he would be happy to prescribe for them and cure them. Theyreplied: "We are all very well, and shall continue so, if you will onlybe good enough to go away, and leave us as we are." From Aesop's Fables |
