A boy, greatly smitten with the colours of a butterfly, pursued it from flower to flower. First he tried to surprise it among the leaves of a rose; then to cover it with his hat as it was feeding on a daisy; now he hoped to secure it as it rested on a sprig of myrtle; and now grew sure of his prize, perceiving it loiter on a bed of violets. But the fickle fly, changing one blossom for another, still eluded his attempts. At length, seeing it half buried in the cup of a tulip, he rushed forward, and snatching it with violence, crushed it to pieces. The dying insect, observing the poor boy somewhat disappointed, thus addressed him: See now the end of thy solicitude, and know that all pleasure is but a painted butterfly; which, although it may serve to amuse thee in the pursuit, if embraced with too much ardour, will perish in thy grasp. FABLE 3. The Wolf and the Shepherds. A wolf, peeping into a hut, where a company of shep herds were regaling themselves with a joint of mutton,"Bless me," said he, "what a clamour these men would have raised, if they had caught me at such a banquet!"

The Country Maid and her Milkpail. A country maid was walking with a pail of milk upon her head, when she fell into the following train of thoughts: The money for which I shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred. These eggs will bring at least two hundred and fifty chickens. The chickens will be fit to carry to market about Christmas, when poultry always bears a good price; so that by May-day I shall have money enough to buy me a new gown. Green-let me consider-yes, green becomes my complexion best, and green it shall be. In this dress I will go to the fair, where all the young fellows will strive to have me for a partner; but I shall perhaps refuse every one of them, and with an air of disdain turn from them. Charmed with this thought, she could not forbear acting with her head what thus passed in her mind, when down came the pail of milk, and with it all her fancied happiness. FABLE 5. The Boy and the Filberts. A certain boy put his hand into a pitcher in which were a quantity of figs and filberts. He grasped as many as his hand would hold, but, when he tried to pull it out, the smallness of the neck prevented him. Unwilling to lose any of them, but unable to draw out his hand, he burst into tears, and bitterly bemoaned his hard fortune. An honest fellow who stood by gave him this wise advice: Grasp only half the quantity, my boy, and you will easily succeed. MORAL. The surest way to gain our ends is to moderate our desires.
