A
BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to
be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature
the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird,
but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again
fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he
likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a
special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a
mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.
Moral: It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
