## The Bat And The Weasels
A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life.
The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds.
Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him.
