"That may be," said the Cat, "but whether they can or not, I'm not going without my dinner"; and she killed and ate him. The want of a good excuse never kept a villain from crime. THAT MAY BE SAID THE CAT BUT WHETHER THEY CAN OR NOT I'M NOT GOING WITHOUT MY DINNER AND SHE KILLED AND ATE HIM THE WANT OF A GOOD EXCUSE NEVER KEPT A VILLAIN FROM CRIME
rimly, "but that one's a lion." Quality, not quantity. THE VIPER AND THE FILE A Viper entered a carpenter's shop, and went from one to another of the tools, begging for something to eat. Among the rest, he addressed himself to the File, and asked for the favour of a meal. The File replied in a tone of pitying contempt, "What a simpleton you must be if you imagine you will get anything from me, who invariably take from every one and never give anything in return." The covetous are poor givers. THE CAT AND THE COCK A Cat pounced on a Cock, and cast about for some good excuse for making a meal off him, for Cats don't as a rule eat Cocks, and she knew she ought not to. At last she said, "You make a great nuisance of yourself at night by crowing and keeping people awake: so I am going to make an end of you." But the Cock defended himself by saying that he crowed in order that men might wake up and set about the day's work in good time, and that they really couldn't very well do without him.
