Just then came a hunter with
four dogs. The cat sprang nimbly up a tree, and sat down on top of
it, where the branches and foliage quite concealed her. Open your
sack, Mr.. Fox, open your sack, cried the cat to him, but the dogs
had already seized him, and were holding him fast. Ah, Mr. Fox,
cried the cat. You with your hundred arts are left in the lurch.
Had you been able to climb like me, you would not have lost your
life. |
