The Bat and the Weasels
A bat fell off of a tree branch, but a weasel caught him, and the bat pled for his life. The weasel refused him saying, “It is my nature to be an enemy of all birds.” The bat replied, “ I am not a bird, but a mouse.” So the bat was set free. But again the bat fell and was caught by another weasel, who intended to eat him. The weasel said he felt a special hostility to mice. The bat said, “I am not a mouse, but a bat.” And the bat escaped again.
Moral: It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

I have never heard of this fable before but it is very good and true. It's neat how simple truths can be sometimes summarized very well in short fables. I enjoyed reading it
