Aesop's Fables
A
THRUSH was feeding on a
myrtle-tree and did not move from it because its
berries were so
delicious. A
Fowler observed her staying so long in one spot, and having well
bird-limed his
reeds, caught her. The Thrush, being at the point of
death, exclaimed, "O foolish creature that I am! For the sake of a little
pleasant food I have
deprived myself of my
life"
