Charity begins at home, they say; and most People are kind to their Neighbours for their own sakes.
A Crow and a Muscle
There was one of your Royston-Crows, that lay battering
upon a Muscle, and could not for hi Blood break the Shell to come
at the Fish. A Carrion-Crow, in this interim, comes up, and tells
him, that what he could not do by Force, he might do by Stratagem.
Take this Muscle up in the Air, says the Crow, as high as you
can carry it, and then let him fall upon theat Rock there; his
own Weight, you shall see, shall break him. The Roystoner took
his Advice, and it succeeded accordingly; but while the one was
upon Wing, the other stood lurching upon the Ground, and flew
away with the Fish.
