The Mouse And The Bull
Aesop Fable: The Mouse And The Bull
A bull was bitten by a Mouse and, angered by the wound,
tried to capture him. But the Mouse reached his hole in
safety. Though the Bull dug into the walls with his horns,
he tired before he could rout out the Mouse, and crouching
down, went to sleep outside the hole.
The Mouse peeped
out, crept furtively up his flank, and again biting him, retreated
to his hole. The Bull rising up, and not knowing
what to do, was sadly perplexed. At which the Mouse said,
"The great do not always prevail. There are times when the
small and lowly are the strongest to do mischief."
