The Birds, The Beasts, And The Bat
Aesop Fable: The Birds, The Beasts, And The Bat
The birds waged war with the Beasts, and each were by
turns the conquerors. A Bat, fearing the uncertain issues
of the fight, always fought on the side which he felt was
the strongest. When peace was proclaimed, his deceitful
conduct was apparent to both combatants.
Therefore being condemned by each for his treachery, he was driven
forth from the light of day, and henceforth concealed himself
in dark hiding-places, flying always alone and at night.
