Today s story is a fable from Aesop, The Buffoon and the Countryman. At a country fair there was a Buffoon who made all the people laugh by imitating the cries of various animals. He finished off by squeaking so like a pig that the spectators thought that he had a porker concealed about him. Nothing like it.
Men often applaud an imitation and hiss the real thing.
