 NOTE.
Sixteen of these Twenty Fables have been handed down to us in a
Greek form: for these Halm's text has been used. As to the other four
—Number IX. is from Phaedrus, and retains a flavour of artificiality;
Numbers XIII. and XX. are from Latin versions; and Number X. is
from a French one.

The Translations aim at replacing the florid style of our older English
versions, and the stilted harshness of more modern ones, by a
plainness and terseness more nearly like the character of the originals.

In the following cases the Translations have been adapted to the

Designs. In Number I. cheese has been put for meat; in Number VIII.
a pack of Hounds for a Lion; in Number XI. a Stork for a Crane; in
Number XIX. a Frog for a Toad; and in Number VII. the Dog should
be tied up. The reason of this is, that in the collaboration the Designer
and Translator have not been on terms of equal authority; the former
has stood unshakeably by English tradition, and has had his own way.

A.C.
A pair of ostriches.

A fox.
 THE FOX AND THE CROW

A crow sits in a tree with some cheese while a fox watches.

THE FOX AND THE CROW.

A Crow stole a piece of cheese and alighted with it on a tree. A Fox

watched her, and wishing to get hold of the cheese stood underneath
and began to make compliments upon her size and beauty; he went so
far as to say that she had the best of claims to be made Queen of the
Birds, and doubtless it would have been done if she had only had a
voice. The Crow, anxious to prove to him that she did possess a voice,
began to caw vigorously, of course dropping the cheese. The Fox
pounced upon it and carried it off, remarking as he went away, "My
good friend Crow, you have every good quality: now try to get some
common sense."

been sitting with.
 A crow.

An ass in a lion's skin.

 THE ASS IN THE LION'S SKIN

An ass in a lion's skin watches as animals and men stampede away

from him.

THE ASS IN THE LION'S SKIN.

An Ass who had dressed himself up in a Lion's skin was mistaken by

everybody for a lion, and there was a stampede of both herds and
men. But presently the skin was whisked off by a gust of wind, and
the Ass stood exposed; and then the men all charged at him, and with
sticks and cudgels gave him a sound drubbing.

A man teaching others proudly about an art piece has his true nature
discovered when a couple of men discover art history books in the
pockets of his coat.
 An ass.

A fisherman.
 THE FISHERMAN AND THE
LITTLE FISH

A fisherman with a small fish.

THE FISHERMAN AND THE LITTLE FISH.

A Fisherman cast his net and caught a little Fish. The little Fish
begged him to let him go for the present, as he was so small, and to
catch him again to more purpose later on, when he was bulkier. But
the Fisherman said: "Nay, I should be a very simpleton to let go a
good thing I have got and run after a doubtful expectation."

mine.'
 A fish.

Two doves and a whitewashed jackdaw.

THE JACKDAW AND THE DOVES

A jackdaw with some doves in a dovecote.

THE JACKDAW AND THE DOVES.

A Jackdaw observing how well cared for were the Doves in a certain
dovecote, whitewashed himself and went to take a part in the same
way of living. The Doves were friendly enough so long as he kept
silence, taking him for one of themselves; but when he once forgot
himself and gave a croak they immediately perceived his character,
and cuffed him out. So the Jackdaw, having failed in getting a share of
good things there, returned to his brother Jackdaws. But these latter
not recognising him, because of his colour, kept him out of their mess
also; so that in his desire for two things he got neither.

At a meeting of a gentlemen's club, men excitedly discuss a public

figure that the media has recently exposed.
A crying jackdaw.

A puppy.
 THE COPPERSMITH AND HIS
PUPPY

A puppy begs for food from his master who is a coppersmith.

THE COPPERSMITH AND HIS PUPPY.

A certain Coppersmith had a Puppy. While the Coppersmith was at

work the Puppy lay asleep; but when meal-time came he woke up. So
his master, throwing him a bone, said: "You sleepy little wretch of a
Puppy, what shall I do with you, you inveterate sluggard? When I am
thumping on my anvil you can go to sleep on the mat; but when I
come to work my teeth immediately you are wide awake and wagging
your tail at me."

A politician being very friendly during an election.

 A puppy.

Some frogs looking at a crown.

 THE FROGS DESIRING A KING

Some frogs sitting on a log about to be eaten by a stork. Zeus looks on

from afar.

THE FROGS DESIRING A KING.

The Frogs were grieved at their own lawless condition, so they sent a
deputation to Zeus begging him to provide them with a King. Zeus,
perceiving their simplicity, dropped a Log of wood into the pool. At
first the Frogs were terrified by the splash, and dived to the bottom;
but after a while, seeing the Log remain motionless, they came up
again, and got to despise it so much that they climbed up and sat on it.
Dissatisfied with a King like that, they came again to Zeus and
entreated him to change their ruler for them, the first being altogether
too torpid. Then Zeus was exasperated with them, and sent them a
Stork, by whom they were seized and eaten up.

Along a shoreline, Irish men sit on a log on which the words 'land bill'
are written. They are pleading with Britannia to give them home rule.
A crowned stork.

A mangy wolf.
 THE DOG AND THE WOLF

A dog with a wolf.

THE DOG AND THE WOLF.

A Wolf, seeing a large Dog with a collar on, asked him: "Who put that
collar round your neck, and fed you to be so sleek?" "My master,"
answered the Dog. "Then," said the Wolf, "may no friend of mine be
treated like this; a collar is as grievous as starvation."

A man dreams of a dance. Some men are dancing with the ladies
while another is sleeping next to his wife.

A boy observes a sentry shackled to his post.

A hunter with his dogs.
 THE STAG LOOKING INTO THE
WATER

A stag gazes at his reflection in a lake while hunters approach.

THE STAG LOOKING INTO THE WATER.

A Stag parched with thirst came to a spring of water. As he was

drinking he saw his own reflection on the water, and was in raptures
with his horns when he observed their splendid size and shape, but
was troubled about his legs, they seemed so thin and weak. As he was
still musing, some huntsmen with a pack of hounds appeared and
disturbed him, whereupon the Stag took to flight, and keeping a good
distance ahead so long as the plain was free from trees, he was being
saved; but when he came to a woody place he got his horns entangled
in the branches, and being unable to move was seized by the hounds.
When he was at the point of death he said to himself: "What a fool am
I, who was on the way to be saved by the very things which I thought
would fail me; while by those in which I so much trusted I am brought
to ruin."

A woman gazes at her reflection in a mirror while her children tear

apart her house.

A running stag.

Two frogs.
THE FROGS AND THE FIGHTING
BULLS

A frog lectures a group of other frogs while they watch some fighting
bulls.

THE FROGS AND THE FIGHTING BULLS.

A Frog in his marsh looking at some Bulls fighting, exclaimed: "O

dear! what sad destruction threatens us now!" Another Frog asked him
why he said that, seeing that the Bulls were only fighting for the first
place in the herd, and that they lived quite remote from the Frogs.
"Ah," said the first, "it is true that our positions are wide apart, and we
are different kinds of things, but still, the Bull who will be driven
from the rule of the pasture will come to lie in hiding in the marsh,
and crush us to death under his hard hoofs, so that their raging really
does closely concern the lives of you and me."

Two men wearing distinctly different uniforms are waving identical

 flags with the double headed eagle emblem and are fighting each
other across a river. This may be a reference to the Russo-Turkish war
of 1877–1878. Two Balkan men casually watch the battle from behind
a wall.

A frog.

A lion.
 THE LION AND OTHER BEASTS

A lion dividing a stag while three other beasts look on.

THE LION AND OTHER BEASTS.

The Lion one day went out hunting along with three other Beasts, and
they caught a Stag. With the consent of the others the Lion divided it,
and he cut it into four equal portions; but when the others were going
to take hold of their shares, "Gently, my friends," said the Lion; "the
first of these portions is mine, as one of the party; the second also is
mine, because of my rank among beasts; the third you will yield me as
a tribute to my courage and nobleness of character; while, as to the
fourth,—why, if any one wishes to dispute with me for it, let him
begin, and we shall soon see whose it will be."

A director gives his report while frustrated shareholders listen.

A lion eating some meat.

A stork.
 THE FOX AND THE STORK

A stork eating soup from a jug at dinner party while a fox watches.

THE FOX AND THE STORK.

The Fox poured out some rich soup upon a flat dish, tantalising the
Stork, and making him look ridiculous, for the soup, being a liquid,
foiled all the efforts of his slender beak. In return for this, when the
Stork invited the Fox, he brought the dinner on the table in a jug with
a long narrow neck, so that while he himself easily inserted his beak
and took his fill, the Fox was unable to do the same, and so was
properly paid off.

Frame 1: A religious woman is presented a sporting magazine from

'Mr. Fox'. The caption says: “With Mr Fox's respects & many happy
returns of the day” Frame 2: A hunter is presented a religious text
from 'Mrs. Stork'. The caption says: “With Mrs Stork's kind regards
and the compliments of the season”
A snarling fox.

A horse.
 THE HORSE AND THE STAG

A horse being driven by a man.

THE HORSE AND THE STAG.

There was a Horse who had a meadow all to himself until a Stag came
and began to injure the pasture. The Horse, eager to punish the Stag,
asked a man whether there was any way of combining to do this.
"Certainly," said the Man, "if you don't object to a bridle and to my
mounting you with javelins in my hand." The Horse agreed, and was
mounted by the Man; but, instead of being revenged on the Stag, he
himself became a servant to the Man.

A man, made poor by agricultural distress, selling something to a

happy money lender in order to pay his rent.
A child driving a horse with a toy whip.

A cock crowing at sun-up.

 THE COCK AND THE JEWEL

A cock stumbles upon a ring.

THE COCK AND THE JEWEL.

A Barn-door Cock while scratching up his dunghill came upon a

Jewel. "Oh, why," said he, "should I find this glistening thing? If some
jeweller had found it he would have been beside himself with joy at
the thought of its value; but to me it is of no manner of use, nor do I
care one jot about it; why, I would rather have one grain of barley than
all the jewels in the world."

A weary man approaches an inn during a storm. He passes a sign for

the inn in which the words 'J.J. Jones Beerseller' have been changed to
'J.J. Jones Bookseller.'
A cock throwing away a ring.

A cock riding an ass.

 THE ASS, THE LION, AND THE
COCK

An ass chasing a lion out of a shed.

THE ASS, THE LION, AND THE COCK.

An Ass and a Cock were in a shed. A hungry Lion caught sight of the
Ass, and was on the point of entering the shed to devour him. But he
took fright at the sound of the Cock crowing (for people say that
Lions are afraid at the voice of a Cock), and turned away and ran. The
Ass, roused to a lofty contempt of him for being afraid of a Cock,
went out to pursue him; but when they were some distance away the
Lion ate him up.

An Arab man, possibly Ahmed Orabi, leaves the protection of lady

Europe in order to chase after a lion draped in a Union Jack.
A contented lion.

A wolf.
 THE WOLF AND THE LAMB

A wolf speaking with a lamb.

THE WOLF AND THE LAMB.

A Wolf seeing a Lamb drinking at a brook, took it into his head that he
would find some plausible excuse for eating him. So he drew near,
and, standing higher up the stream, began to accuse him of disturbing
the water and preventing him from drinking.

The Lamb replied that he was only touching the water with the tips of
his lips; and that, besides, seeing that he was standing down stream,
he could not possibly be disturbing the water higher up. So the Wolf,
having done no good by that accusation, said: "Well, but last year you
insulted my Father." The Lamb replying that at that time he was not
born, the Wolf wound up by saying: "However ready you may be with
your answers, I shall none the less make a meal of you."

sign. Frame 2: The older man is fishing in the same location.

A couple of doves are perched together cuddling while a third dove

coos anxiously.
 THE MAN AND HIS TWO WIVES

A man looks at his bald head in his reflection while his two wives
busy themselves in the background.

THE MAN AND HIS TWO WIVES.

A Man whose hair was turning gray had two Wives, one young and
the other old. The elderly woman felt ashamed at being married to a
man younger than herself, and made it a practice whenever he was
with her to pick out all his black hairs; while the younger, anxious to
conceal the fact that she had an elderly husband, used, similarly, to
pull out the gray ones. So, between them, it ended in the Man being
completely plucked, and becoming bald.

An exasperated painter gives up on his painting. He sits under two

statues of women. One is titled 'the real' and the other is titled 'the
ideal.' He has written 'Namby Pamby' on his painting.
A bald man approaches his home with two vases.

A fox without a tail.

 THE FOX WITHOUT A TAIL

A fox without a tail arguing with other foxes.

THE FOX WITHOUT A TAIL.

A Fox had had his tail docked off in a trap, and in his disgrace began
to think his life not worth living. It therefore occurred to him that the
best thing he could do was to bring the other Foxes into the same
condition, and so conceal his own deficiency in the general distress.
Having assembled them all together he recommended them to cut off
their tails, declaring that a tail was an ungraceful thing; and, further,
was a heavy appendage, and quite superfluous. To this one of them
rejoined: "My good friend, if this had not been to your own advantage
you would never have advised us to do it."

A spinster instructs a group of younger ladies on the unnecessary

nature of husbands. The caption says, “Nonsense, my dears! Husbands
are ridiculous things & are quite unnecessary!”
A fox without a tail.

An eagle and a fox.

 THE EAGLE AND THE FOX

An eagle soaring away with a fox cub while a mother fox watches.

THE EAGLE AND THE FOX.

An Eagle and a Fox entered into a covenant of mutual affection and

resolved to live near one another, looking upon close intercourse as a
way of strengthening friendship. Accordingly the former flew to the
top of a high tree and built her nest, while the latter went into a bush
at the foot and placed her litter there. One day, however, when the Fox
was away foraging, the Eagle, being hard pressed for food, swooped
down into the bush, snatched up the cubs and helped her own
fledglings to devour them. When the Fox came back and saw what
had happened she was not so much vexed at the death of her young
ones as at the impossibility of requital. For the Eagle having wings
and she none, pursuit was impossible. So she stood some distance
away and did all that is left for the weak and impotent to do—poured
curses on her foe. But the Eagle was not to put off for long the
punishment due to her violation of the sacred tie of friendship. It
happened that some country-people were sacrificing a goat, and the
Eagle flew down and carried away from the altar some of the burning
flesh. But when she had got it to her eyrie a strong wind got up and
kindled into flame the thin dry twigs of the nest, so that the eaglets,
being too young to be able to fly, were roasted, and fell to the ground.
Then the Fox ran up and, before the Eagle's eyes, devoured them
every one.

 THE OX AND THE FROG

A very inflated frog displays herself to other frogs.

THE OX AND THE FROG.

An Ox, as he was drinking at the water's edge, crushed a young Frog

underfoot. When the mother Frog came to the spot (for she happened
to be away at the time) she asked his brothers where he was. "He is
dead, mother," they said; "a few minutes ago a great big four-legged
thing came up and crushed him dead with his hoof." Thereupon the
Frog began to puff herself out and ask whether the animal was as big
as that. "Stop, mother, don't put yourself about," they said; "you will
burst in two long before you can make yourself the same size as that
beast."

A woman shows her daughters her fine buttons. Her husband sits at
his desk, which is covered with piles of papers. He looks exasperated.
The caption says: “There my child, have I not as many buttons as
Lady Golderoy now?”

THE HAWK CHASING THE DOVE.

A Hawk giving headlong chase to a Dove rushed after it into a

farmstead, and was captured by one of the farm men. The Hawk
began to coax the man to let him go, saying that he had never done
him any harm. "No," rejoined the man; "nor had this Dove harmed
you."

"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium,
a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the

"Right
of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal

DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a

defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you
can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a

you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
with
your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
with
the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu
of a
refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or

copy
is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without
further
opportunities to fix the problem.

If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall
be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted
by
the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of
any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining
provisions.

you do
or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project
Gutenberg-tm
work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to
any
Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of

electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-
tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the
Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations.

Foundation

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide

spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the
widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep
up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://pglaf.org

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states
who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm

electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely
shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed

editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility:

http://www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
