S a Company of Mice were Peeping out of their Holes for Dicovery, they py’d a Cat upon a Shelf; that lay and look’d o Demurely, as if there had been neither Life nor Soul in her. Well (ays one of the Mice) That's a Good Natur'd Creature, I'll Warrant her; One may read it in her very Looks; and truly I have the Greatet Mind in the World to make an Acquaintance with her. So aid, and o done; but o oon as ever Pus had her within Reach, he gave her to Undertand, that the Face is not always the Index of the Mind.



S a Boar was Whetting his Teeth againt a Tree, up comes a Fox to him. Pray what do you Mean by That? (ays he) for I ee no Occaion for't. Well, ays the Boar, but I do; for when I come once to be Set upon, 'twill be too Late for me to be Whetting, when I hould be Fighting.
