+
+NOTE.
+
+
+Sixteen of these Twenty Fables have been handed down to us in a Greek
+form: for these Halm's text has been used. As to the other four--Number
+IX. is from Phaedrus, and retains a flavour of artificiality; Numbers
+XIII. and XX. are from Latin versions; and Number X. is from a French
+one.
+
+The Translations aim at replacing the florid style of our older English
+versions, and the stilted harshness of more modern ones, by a plainness
+and terseness more nearly like the character of the originals.
+
+In the following cases the Translations have been adapted to the
+Designs. In Number I. _cheese_ has been put for _meat_; in Number VIII.
+a _pack of Hounds_ for a _Lion_; in Number XI. a _Stork_ for a _Crane_;
+in Number XIX. a _Frog_ for a _Toad_; and in Number VII. the Dog should
+be _tied up_. The reason of this is, that in the collaboration the
+Designer and Translator have not been on terms of equal authority; the
+former has stood unshakeably by English tradition, and has had his own
+way.

+THE FOX AND THE CROW.
+
+
+A Crow stole a piece of cheese and alighted with it on a tree. A Fox
+watched her, and wishing to get hold of the cheese stood underneath and
+began to make compliments upon her size and beauty; he went so far as to
+say that she had the best of claims to be made Queen of the Birds, and
+doubtless it would have been done if she had only had a voice. The Crow,
+anxious to prove to him that she did possess a voice, began to caw
+vigorously, of course dropping the cheese. The Fox pounced upon it and
+carried it off, remarking as he went away, "My good friend Crow, you
+have every good quality: now try to get some common sense."

+THE ASS IN THE LION'S SKIN.
+
+
+An Ass who had dressed himself up in a Lion's skin was mistaken by
+everybody for a lion, and there was a stampede of both herds and men.
+But presently the skin was whisked off by a gust of wind, and the Ass
+stood exposed; and then the men all charged at him, and with sticks and
+cudgels gave him a sound drubbing.

+THE FISHERMAN AND THE LITTLE FISH.
+
+
+A Fisherman cast his net and caught a little Fish. The little Fish
+begged him to let him go for the present, as he was so small, and to
+catch him again to more purpose later on, when he was bulkier. But the
+Fisherman said: "Nay, I should be a very simpleton to let go a good
+thing I have got and run after a doubtful expectation."

+THE JACKDAW AND THE DOVES.
+
+
+A Jackdaw observing how well cared for were the Doves in a certain
+dovecote, whitewashed himself and went to take a part in the same way of
+living. The Doves were friendly enough so long as he kept silence,
+taking him for one of themselves; but when he once forgot himself and
+gave a croak they immediately perceived his character, and cuffed him
+out. So the Jackdaw, having failed in getting a share of good things
+there, returned to his brother Jackdaws. But these latter not
+recognising him, because of his colour, kept him out of their mess also;
+so that in his desire for two things he got neither.

+
+
+A certain Coppersmith had a Puppy. While the Coppersmith was at work the
+Puppy lay asleep; but when meal-time came he woke up. So his master,
+throwing him a bone, said: "You sleepy little wretch of a Puppy, what
+shall I do with you, you inveterate sluggard? When I am thumping on my
+anvil you can go to sleep on the mat; but when I come to work my teeth
+immediately you are wide awake and wagging your tail at me."

+THE FROGS DESIRING A KING.
+
+
+The Frogs were grieved at their own lawless condition, so they sent a
+deputation to Zeus begging him to provide them with a King. Zeus,
+perceiving their simplicity, dropped a Log of wood into the pool. At
+first the Frogs were terrified by the splash, and dived to the bottom;
+but after a while, seeing the Log remain motionless, they came up again,
+and got to despise it so much that they climbed up and sat on it.
+Dissatisfied with a King like that, they came again to Zeus and
+entreated him to change their ruler for them, the first being altogether
+too torpid. Then Zeus was exasperated with them, and sent them a Stork,
+by whom they were seized and eaten up.

+
+
+A Wolf, seeing a large Dog with a collar on, asked him: "Who put that
+collar round your neck, and fed you to be so sleek?" "My master,"
+answered the Dog. "Then," said the Wolf, "may no friend of mine be
+treated like this; a collar is as grievous as starvation."

+
+THE STAG LOOKING INTO THE WATER.
+
+
+A Stag parched with thirst came to a spring of water. As he was drinking
+he saw his own reflection on the water, and was in raptures with his
+horns when he observed their splendid size and shape, but was troubled
+about his legs, they seemed so thin and weak. As he was still musing,
+some huntsmen with a pack of hounds appeared and disturbed him,
+whereupon the Stag took to flight, and keeping a good distance ahead so
+long as the plain was free from trees, he was being saved; but when he
+came to a woody place he got his horns entangled in the branches, and
+being unable to move was seized by the hounds. When he was at the point
+of death he said to himself: "What a fool am I, who was on the way to be
+saved by the very things which I thought would fail me; while by those
+in which I so much trusted I am brought to ruin."

+
+THE FROGS AND THE FIGHTING BULLS.
+
+
+A Frog in his marsh looking at some Bulls fighting, exclaimed: "O dear!
+what sad destruction threatens us now!" Another Frog asked him why he
+said that, seeing that the Bulls were only fighting for the first place
+in the herd, and that they lived quite remote from the Frogs. "Ah," said
+the first, "it is true that our positions are wide apart, and we are
+different kinds of things, but still, the Bull who will be driven from
+the rule of the pasture will come to lie in hiding in the marsh, and
+crush us to death under his hard hoofs, so that their raging really does
+closely concern the lives of you and me."

+
+THE LION AND OTHER BEASTS.
+
+
+The Lion one day went out hunting along with three other Beasts, and
+they caught a Stag. With the consent of the others the Lion divided it,
+and he cut it into four equal portions; but when the others were going
+to take hold of their shares, "Gently, my friends," said the Lion; "the
+first of these portions is mine, as one of the party; the second also is
+mine, because of my rank among beasts; the third you will yield me as a
+tribute to my courage and nobleness of character; while, as to the
+fourth,--why, if any one wishes to dispute with me for it, let him
+begin, and we shall soon see whose it will be."

+
+
+The Fox poured out some rich soup upon a flat dish, tantalising the
+Stork, and making him look ridiculous, for the soup, being a liquid,
+foiled all the efforts of his slender beak. In return for this, when the
+Stork invited the Fox, he brought the dinner on the table in a jug with
+a long narrow neck, so that while he himself easily inserted his beak
+and took his fill, the Fox was unable to do the same, and so was
+properly paid off.

+THE HORSE AND THE STAG.
+
+
+There was a Horse who had a meadow all to himself until a Stag came and
+began to injure the pasture. The Horse, eager to punish the Stag, asked
+a man whether there was any way of combining to do this. "Certainly,"
+said the Man, "if you don't object to a bridle and to my mounting you
+with javelins in my hand." The Horse agreed, and was mounted by the Man;
+but, instead of being revenged on the Stag, he himself became a servant
+to the Man.

+THE COCK AND THE JEWEL.
+
+
+A Barn-door Cock while scratching up his dunghill came upon a Jewel.
+"Oh, why," said he, "should I find this glistening thing? If some
+jeweller had found it he would have been beside himself with joy at the
+thought of its value; but to me it is of no manner of use, nor do I care
+one jot about it; why, I would rather have one grain of barley than all
+the jewels in the world."

+THE ASS, THE LION, AND THE COCK.
+
+
+An Ass and a Cock were in a shed. A hungry Lion caught sight of the Ass,
+and was on the point of entering the shed to devour him. But he took
+fright at the sound of the Cock crowing (for people say that Lions are
+afraid at the voice of a Cock), and turned away and ran. The Ass, roused
+to a lofty contempt of him for being afraid of a Cock, went out to
+pursue him; but when they were some distance away the Lion ate him up.

+THE WOLF AND THE LAMB.
+
+
+A Wolf seeing a Lamb drinking at a brook, took it into his head that he
+would find some plausible excuse for eating him. So he drew near, and,
+standing higher up the stream, began to accuse him of disturbing the
+water and preventing him from drinking.
+
+The Lamb replied that he was only touching the water with the tips of
+his lips; and that, besides, seeing that he was standing down stream,
+he could not possibly be disturbing the water higher up. So the Wolf,
+having done no good by that accusation, said: "Well, but last year you
+insulted my Father." The Lamb replying that at that time he was not
+born, the Wolf wound up by saying: "However ready you may be with your
+answers, I shall none the less make a meal of you."

+
+THE MAN AND HIS TWO WIVES.
+
+
+A Man whose hair was turning gray had two Wives, one young and the other
+old. The elderly woman felt ashamed at being married to a man younger
+than herself, and made it a practice whenever he was with her to pick
+out all his black hairs; while the younger, anxious to conceal the fact
+that she had an elderly husband, used, similarly, to pull out the gray
+ones. So, between them, it ended in the Man being completely plucked,
+and becoming bald.

+
+THE FOX WITHOUT A TAIL.
+
+
+A Fox had had his tail docked off in a trap, and in his disgrace began
+to think his life not worth living. It therefore occurred to him that
+the best thing he could do was to bring the other Foxes into the same
+condition, and so conceal his own deficiency in the general distress.
+Having assembled them all together he recommended them to cut off their
+tails, declaring that a tail was an ungraceful thing; and, further, was
+a heavy appendage, and quite superfluous. To this one of them rejoined:
+"My good friend, if this had not been to your own advantage you would
+never have advised us to do it."
+
+[Illustration: "Nonsense, my dears! Husbands are ridiculous things & are
+quite unnecessary!"]

+
+THE EAGLE AND THE FOX.
+
+
+An Eagle and a Fox entered into a covenant of mutual affection and
+resolved to live near one another, looking upon close intercourse as a
+way of strengthening friendship. Accordingly the former flew to the top
+of a high tree and built her nest, while the latter went into a bush at
+the foot and placed her litter there. One day, however, when the Fox
+was away foraging, the Eagle, being hard pressed for food, swooped down
+into the bush, snatched up the cubs and helped her own fledglings to
+devour them. When the Fox came back and saw what had happened she was
+not so much vexed at the death of her young ones as at the impossibility
+of requital. For the Eagle having wings and she none, pursuit was
+impossible. So she stood some distance away and did all that is left for
+the weak and impotent to do--poured curses on her foe. But the Eagle was
+not to put off for long the punishment due to her violation of the
+sacred tie of friendship. It happened that some country-people were
+sacrificing a goat, and the Eagle flew down and carried away from the
+altar some of the burning flesh. But when she had got it to her eyrie a
+strong wind got up and kindled into flame the thin dry twigs of the
+nest, so that the eaglets, being too young to be able to fly, were
+roasted, and fell to the ground. Then the Fox ran up and, before the
+Eagle's eyes, devoured them every one.

+An Ox, as he was drinking at the water's edge, crushed a young Frog
+underfoot. When the mother Frog came to the spot (for she happened to be
+away at the time) she asked his brothers where he was. "He is dead,
+mother," they said; "a few minutes ago a great big four-legged thing
+came up and crushed him dead with his hoof." Thereupon the Frog began to
+puff herself out and ask whether the animal was as big as that. "Stop,
+mother, don't put yourself about," they said; "you will burst in two
+long before you can make yourself the same size as that beast."

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
