The Crow and Mercury
A CROW caught in a snare prayed to Apollo to release him, making
a vow to offer some frankincense at his shrine.
But when rescued
from his danger, he forgot his promise.
Shortly afterwards,
again caught in a snare, he passed by Apollo and made the same
promise to offer frankincense to Mercury.
Mercury soon appeared
and said to him, "O thou most base fellow? how can I believe
thee, who hast disowned and wronged thy former patron?' |
