The Belly And The Members
Aesop Fable: The Belly And The Members
The members of the Body rebelled against the Belly, and
said, "Why should we be perpetually engaged in administering
to your wants, while you do nothing but take your
rest, and enjoy yourself in luxury and self-indulgence?"
The Members carried out their resolve and refused their
assistance to the Belly.
The whole Body quickly became
debilitated, and the hands, feet, mouth, and eyes, when
too late, repented of their folly.
