The Eagle and His Captor
|
|
AN EAGLE was once captured by a man, who immediately clipped his wings and put him into his poultry-yard with the other
birds, at which treatment the Eagle was weighed down with grief. Later, another neighbor purchased him and allowed his
feathers to grow again. The Eagle took flight, and pouncing upon a hare, brought it at once as an offering to his
benefactor. A Fox, seeing this, exclaimed, "Do not cultivate the favor of this man, but of your former owner, lest he
should again hunt for you and deprive you a second time of your wings."
(from Aesop's Fables, translated by George Townsend)
