THE DOG, THE COCK, AND THE FOX
A Dog and a Cock went to travel together. At night the Cock fell asleep in a tree, and the Dog fixed a place[Pg 6] for himself between the roots of that tree. When the time came, the Cock began to crow. A Fox heard the Cock, ran up to the tree, and began to beg the Cock to come down, as she wanted to give him her respects for such a fine voice.
The Cock said:
"You must first wake up the janitor,—he is sleeping between the roots. Let him open up, and I will come down."
The Fox began to look for the janitor, and started yelping. The Dog sprang out at once and killed the Fox.
