The Birds, the Beasts, and the Bat
|
|
THE BIRDS waged war with the Beasts, and each were by turns the conquerors. A Bat, fearing the uncertain issues of the
fight, always fought on the side which he felt was the strongest. When peace was proclaimed, his deceitful conduct was
apparent to both combatants. Therefore being condemned by each for his treachery, he was driven forth from the light of
day, and henceforth concealed himself in dark hiding-places, flying always alone and at night.
(from Aesop's Fables, translated by George Townsend)
