Ã†sop's Fables - 2 - The Farmer and the Fox

Another real Æsop fable from Project Gutenberg


	A Farmer was greatly annoyed by a Fox, which came prowling about his yard at night and carried off his fowls.


	So he set a trap for him and caught him; and in order to be revenged upon him, he tied a bunch of tow to his tail and set fire to it and let him go.

If you don't believe me, see for yourself: http://bit.ly/b6llZk


	As ill-luck would have it, however, the Fox made straight for the fields where the corn was standing ripe and ready for cutting.


	It quickly caught fire and was all burnt up, and the Farmer lost all his harvest.


	So you see, the moral is, When you've captured your enemy, finish him off immediately.


	I already knew that. I've seen every Bond movie.
