The Serpent and the File
    
    
      A Serpent in the course of its wanderings came into an
    armourer's shop.  As he glided over the floor he felt his skin
    pricked by a file lying there.  In a rage he turned round upon it
    and tried to dart his fangs into it; but he could do no harm to
    heavy iron and had soon to give over his wrath.
    
    
    	It is useless attacking the insensible.
