THE FOX, THE GOAT AND THE CAR
RIOTS,

A fox and goat were walking together
on the main road. After having advanced
few yards they saw q bag lying at the side
Of the hedge.
I wonder what there may be in shet bag1'
said the goat. s.....
IN see, said the fox; and putting his
mouth to the string with which the bag wa
tied, he bit it through in 3 moment. Then
seizing the bottom Of the bag with his teeth,
he shook 1t, and the most splendid carrots
rolled out. 90 "a -
Those are for me- said the fox, 'for
opened the bag,
You shan't touch them, answered the
goat, else III batter you with my horns I'LL
your ribs crack.
The fox looked at the large horns Of the
goat, and showed his teeth, The goat, see
ing the fox teeth, thought within himself
II don't like those sharp fellowsi And the
fox thought Il don't believe my ribs would
stand those horns So they kept standing
over, the carrots, and looked at each other,
but neither had the Courage TO touch the
spoil. ee''N q e q 1890 -'n''e
AFTER pause the fox said. What the
use of our standing here 2 Let Us see which
Of US is the stronger. Yonder are two heaps
of stones. Take you one of them and FL
take the other and he who first throws
down his heap shall have the carrots. f.sliia
Very we'll said the goat. So they went
each to his heap.
- The goat placed himself on his bind legs.
and knocked with his horns till the ground
rebounded, but the heap kept imrnovable.
You don't hit hard enough said the
fox. Take q run at It, 81
The goat went few steps back, Rnd ran
at the heap as violently a. he could. Crackt
crackl and both his horns fell down TO the
ground. r,fF .Trsd ass f-
When the fox saw this he began dancing
upon his hind-legs. i
carrots are now for me-
Not yes,' said the goat. You haven't
thrown down your heap, and if you touch
the carrots before then I'll fight you with
the stunps that are left on my head 81
The fox looked at the gost's stumps and
| thought. One Of them l. very sharp; be
might rip up my sides. e hao 2
very we'll he said; III, throw down
nv heap; It il q triAe to me-
The fox began digging around with his
| f0re-feet till there was q large hole in the
ground. The heap tottered and fell but,
\ 6alloaI it fell on the fo5, and broke his
left hind-leg.. . zen "A HssisAa pa
There they stood, looking at one another
with sad countenance the one with the
broken hsfns, the other with broken leg.
Jump at the carrots,' said the goat,
maliciously. i now leave them to you
i can't sighed the fox; my leg pains
me too much You may take them.
l Very well, said the goat and ran to-
ward the bag, But, oh dssrl there was Meth.
| er bag nor carrots, for during their quarrel q
peasent had passed BY, and picked up both.
| 'Alasfi cried the goat what fools we arel
Had we divided the treasure in peace,
would have saved my horns, you your leg,
and each of us would have had enough Of
carrots-' !.
