Date:
A little hungry rogue of a mouse had made his way through a small hole in a corn- basket, where he stuffed and crammed so plentifully, that, when he would have left the way he came, he found himself too plump, with all of the stolen food he had eaten, to accomplish it. a Weasel, who stood at some distance, and had been laughing at the vain efforts of the little fat thing, called to him, and said, “honest friend, if you have a mind to make your escape, there is but one way for it: contrive to grow as poor and lean as you were when you entered, and then, perhaps, you may get off.”
