The Roosters And The Partridge
Aesop Fable: The Roosters And The Partridge
A man had two Roosters in his poultry-yard. One day by
chance he found a tame Partridge for sale. He purchased it
and brought it home to be reared with his Roosters. When
the Partridge was put into the poultry-yard, they struck
at it and followed it about, so that the Partridge became
grievously troubled and supposed that he was thus evilly
treated because he was a stranger.
Not long afterwards he saw the Roosters fighting together and not separating before
one had well beaten the other.
He then said to himself, "I shall no longer distress myself at being struck at by these
Roosters, when I see that they cannot even refrain from quarreling with each other."
