The Fox And The Cock
A Fox, one day, saw a Cock on the roof of a barn. ‘Come to me, my dear Master Cock,’ said he; ‘I have always heard you are such a clever fellow; and I want to ask you a riddle.’ Glad to hear himself praised, the foolish Cock came down, and the Fox caught him, and ate him in a moment.
The praise of the wicked is always dangerous.
