The Tiger, BraIlnin ana FOX.

II tiScr, proving In tflndoo forest, wa
attracted by u bleating calf It proved to b,
u bait, and tho tiger found himself trappc,
iu an aspiring cage. There he lay for tw,
days, when a Brahmin happened that way
"Oh Brahmin !" pitiously cried tho beast
"havc mercy upon nc and let mo out of th
cage"
"Ah but you will eat me-"
"Elt you! devour my bcncfactor nevc
could be guilty Of such deed," respondct
the tiger.
The Brahmin being bcncayolently inclined
was moved by these cutrcatios, aud opcuec
the door Of the cage. The tiger walked up
to him, waived his tail, and said, "Brhmin,
prepare to die: Shall now eaS you"
ooh how ungratcfu ! how wicked An
not your saviour % protested tho trembling
priest.
True" said the tiger; every true; but
it is the custom Of my race to cat mcu when
you GO"
"Let ussubmit the case to an arbitrator" re.
piled the Brahmin; here comes fox tho
fox is wise; let us abide by his judgement"
every we'll, agreed tho tiger.
The fox, assuming judicial aspect, sat on
his launches will all the dignity he could
muster, and looking ut the disputants, said
"Good friends, am somewhat confused by
the different accounts which you give of this
matter my mind is not c6ar enough to rem
der an equitable judgments, but if you will
be good enough to act the whole transaction
out before my eyes | shall attain unto more
definite conception Of the case. Do YOU Mr.
Tiger, show me how you approached and en-
tered the cage; and then do you, Mr. Brah
min, show me precisely how you liberated
him, aud shall be able to render Il proper
decision"
They assentcd, for the fox was solemn and
and cracular. The spring door fell and shut
him i'll. lie was prisoner inside. Tho
judicial expression faded trom the fox's coun.
t,nanco, and, turning to the Brahmin, he
said: Now you arc all right, you silly. Rlm'>.
