The Eagle And The Arrow
Aesop Fable: The Eagle And The Arrow
An Eagle sat on a lofty rock, watching the movements of
a Hare whom he sought to make his prey.
An archer, who
saw the Eagle from a place of concealment, took an accurate
aim and wounded him mortally.
The Eagle gave one
look at the arrow that had entered his heart and saw in
that single glance that its feathers had been furnished by
himself.
"It is a double grief to me," he exclaimed, "that I
should perish by an arrow feathered from my own wings."
