FOX after crossing a river got its 

 tail entangled in a bush, and could 

 -^> /,§) n °t move. A number of Mos- 

 £lj//vv) quitoes seeing its plight settled 

 upon it and enjoyed a good meal undisturbed 

 by its tail. A hedgehog strolling by took 

 pity upon the Fox and went up to him : 

 " You are in a bad way, neighbour," said the 

 hedgehog ; " shall I relieve you by driving off 

 those Mosquitoes who are sucking your 

 blood ? " 



" Thank you, Master Hedgehog," said 

 the Fox, u but I would rather not." 



"Why, how is that?" asked the hedgehog.
