## The Mouse and the Bull
A BULL was bitten by a Mouse and, angered by the wound, tried to capture him.
Though the Bull dug into the walls with his horns, he tired before he could rout out the Mouse, and crouching down, went to sleep outside the hole.
The Bull rising up, and not knowing what to do, was sadly perplexed.
