Selected Fables

A FOOL AND A WISE MAN A wise man, walking alone was being bothered by a fool throwing stones at his head. Turning to face him, he said: "My dear chap, well thrown!  Please accept these few francs. You've worked hard enough to get more than mere thanks. Every effort deserves it's reward. But see that man over there? He can afford more than I can. Present him with some stones: they'll earn a good wage. " Lured by the bait, the stupid man ran off to repeat the outrage on the other worthy citizen.

In the courts of kings there are pests like this, devoid of sense: they'll make their master laugh at your expense. To silence their cackle, should you hand out rough punishment? Maybe you're not strong enough. Better persuade them to attack somebody else, who can more than pay them back. Jean De LA Fontaine
