The Dove and the Crow
By Aesop
A DOVE shut up in a cage was boasting of the large number of young ones which she had hatched. A Crow, hearing her, said: My good friend, cease from this unreasonable boasting. The larger the number of your family, the greater your cause of sorrow, in seeing them shut up in this prison-house.
Moral:
To enjoy our blessings, we must have freedom.
