The Dog and the Oyster
        A DOG, used to eating eggs, saw an Oyster and, opening his mouth
        to its widest extent, swallowed it down with the utmost relish,
        supposing it to be an egg.
        Soon afterwards suffering great pain
        in his stomach, he said, "I deserve all this torment, for my
        folly in thinking that everything round must be an egg."
       
        They who act without sufficient thought, will often fall into
        unsuspected danger.
