The Hen and the Vipers
A HEN who had patiently hatched out a brood of vipers, was accosted

creatures who will reward you by destroying you."
"I am a little bit on the destroy myself," said the Hen, tranquilly
swallowing one of the little reptiles; "and it is not an act of
folly to provide oneself with the delicacies of the season."
