A HEN who had patiently hatched out a brood of vipers, was accosted by a Swallow, who said:
- "What a fool you are to give life to creatures who will reward you by destroying you."
- "I am a little bit on the destroy myself," said the Hen, tranquilly swallowing one of the little reptiles; "and it is not an act of folly to provide oneself with the delicacies of the season."
