Laurentius Abstemius
Several of the fables of Abstemius , it is true , relate to Aesop's in various ways , either as variations on his , as in the case of "De culice cibum et hospitium ab appetente" ( 94 ) , which is told of a gnat and a bee but relates to The Ant and the Grasshopper; or in the case of "De leone et mure" ( 52 ) it provides a sequel to The Lion and the Mouse , in which the mouse asks for the lion's daughter as a reward for freeing him from the net and is stepped on accidentally by the bride .
