## The Peasant and the Eagle
A PEASANT found an Eagle captured in a trap, and much admiring the bird, set him free.
The Eagle did not prove ungrateful to his deliverer, for seeing the Peasant sitting under a wall which was not safe, he flew toward him and with his talons snatched a bundle from his head.
When the Peasant rose in pursuit, the Eagle let the bundle fall again.
