The
Hawk, the Kite, and the
Pigeons
The
Pigeons, terrified by the
appearance of a Kite, called upon
the Hawk to defend them. He at
once consented. When they had
admitted him into the cote, they
found that he made more havoc and
slew a larger number of them in
one day than the Kite could
pounce upon in a whole year.
Avoid
a remedy that is worse than
the disease.
