The Farmer and the Cranes Some cranes made their feeding grounds on some plowlands newly sown with wheat.

The Farmer, on seeing this, charged his sling with stones, and killed a great number.

The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock. There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
