The Viper And The File
Aesop Fable: The Viper And The File
A lion, entering the workshop of a smith, sought from the
tools the means of satisfying his hunger. He more particularly
addressed himself to a File, and asked of him the favor
of a meal.
The File replied, "You must indeed be a simpleminded
fellow if you expect to get anything from me, who
am accustomed to take from everyone, and never to give
anything in return."
