THE HOGGISH RAVEN
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Once upon a time there lived a raven on the branch of a certain larch on the highway.He was very hoggish and rapacious. The highway was very busy with the fleet of food-laden carts moving up and down,spilling oodles of grain and other victuals on the road.
"The highway is a paradise for us birds,"mu-
sed the raven."But I must discourage other birds from coming here or they will flock here in droves and gormandize up everything ,leaving nothing for me."
So,when the other birds quizzed him about the availability of food on the highway,he puckered his brows and cawed,"No doubt you can find some food on the roads,but roads are
dangerous places. You can easily get crushed
under the wheels of a cart while you are engrossed in feeding. I have seen the roads littered with carcasses of dozens of hapless birds who did not have enough time to wing out of the way of the carts."
"We will never tarry here to feed,"tweeted
other birds."Thanks for warning us."
So the raven was left with ample food. One day as he was delightfully feeding on the cooked food dropped down from the carts, he did not listen to the approaching cart until it was too late.He was run over and killed.
