The Fighting Roosters And The Eagle
Aesop Fable: The Fighting Roosters And The Eagle
Two Roosters were fiercely fighting for the mastery of
the farmyard. One at last put the other to flight. The vanquished
Rooster skulked away and hid himself in a quiet corner,
while the conqueror, flying up to a high wall, flapped
his wings and crowed exultingly with all his might.
An Eagle
sailing through the air pounced upon him and carried him
off in his talons. The vanquished Rooster immediately came
out of his corner, and ruled henceforth with undisputed
mastery.
Pride goes before destruction.
