Report

     A CAT caught a Cock, and pondered how  he  might  find  a  reasonable
excuse for eating him. He accused him  of  being  a  nuisance  to  men  by
crowing in the nighttime and  not  permitting  them  to  sleep.  The  Cock
defended himself by saying that he did this for the benefit of  men,  that
they might rise in time for their labors. The Cat replied,  "Although  you
abound in specious apologies, I shall not remain supperless"; and he  made
a meal of him.
