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.
