The Hares and the Frogs – AESOP’S FABLES (however unfortunate we may think we are there is always someone worse off than ourselves / our own are not the only troubles)
“Alas! Alas!” exclaimed the hares,
“We live in trembling dread
Of men and foxes, wolves and bears –
We would be better dead!”
The Travelers and the Bear – AESOP’S FABLES (never trust a friend who leaves you when trouble approaches / misfortune is the test of true friendship)
Walking unarmed across a wooded waste,
Two travelers heard a bear.
One scrambled up a tree with frenzied haste;
The other could but stare,
Too old and plump to climb; then, with no sound,
Lay flat against a boulder, face to ground.
