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.
It
is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
