狗和牡蛎

Belinda

A DOG, used to eating eggs, saw an Oyster and, opening his mouth

to its widest extent, swallowed it down with the utmost relish,

supposing it to be an egg. Soon afterwards suffering great pain

in his stomach, he said, "I deserve all this torment, for my

folly in thinking that everything round must be an egg."

They who act without sufficient thought, will often fall into

unsuspected danger.
