Title: The Cat And The Birds Author: Aesop (author of Aesop's Fables) [More Titles by Aesop (author of Aesop's Fables)] A Cat, hearing that the Birds in a certain aviary were ailing, dressed himself up as a physician, and, taking with him his cane and the instruments becoming his profession, went to the aviary, knocked at the door, and inquired of the inmates how they all did, saying that if they were ill, he would be happy to prescribe for them and cure them. They replied: "We are all very well, and shall continue so, if you will only be good enough to go away, and leave us as we are." [The end] GO TO TOP OF SCREEN |
