The Machiavellian Reynard
**********-------*****--------------
Once upon a time a Reynard lived in a thicket that existed on the outskirts of a village.One day while pussyfooting about the village,he sighted a chubby rooster roosting on his perch.The sight of the rooster tantalized him to lay his hands on it and relish its scrumptious flesh.But the perch was high enough beyond his reach.
So he chewed the cud for a suitable trick to trap the prey.He warbled--
"Hey handsome rooster,how are you ?"
"I am in fine fettle." Cackled the rooster.
"Have you heard the latest good news?"
" Which news?"
"The king of the beasts has decreed that henceforth ,no beast shall kill any bird.All beasts and birds shall live peacefully and in complete harmony with each other."
"Wow! Its great."
The rooster craned his neck to look forward.The Reynard asked what was he looking for ? The rooster responded," Our master's mongrel is coming here.Let us share the news with him."
Hearing this, a thrill of horror shimmied down his spine. In the twinkling of an eye,he about-turned and took to his heels ignoring the rooster's taunts to tarry.
The rooster had a hearty laugh !!
