The Farmer and the Fox
        A FARMER, who bore a grudge against a Fox for robbing his poultry
        yard, caught him at last, and being determined to take an ample
        revenge, tied some rope well soaked in oil to his tail, and set
        it on fire.
        The Fox by a strange fatality rushed to the fields
        of the Farmer who had captured him.
        It was the time of the wheat
        harvest; but the Farmer reaped nothing that year and returned
        home grieving sorely.
