      The Dove and the Crow 
    
    
      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 unseasonable boasting.  The larger
    the number of your family, the greater your cause of sorrow, in
    seeing them shut up in this prison-house."
