Rodent discussions at the granary.

Description of Coloring Page: weasel, rat, granary, grain, bags, hole in the wall, fable by La Fontaine, illustrated by Percy J. Billinghurst, title text

A WEASEL through a hole contrived to squeeze,

** (She was recovering from disease,)

Which led her to a farmer's hoard.

There lodged, her wasted form she cherish'd ;

Heaven knows the lard and victuals stored

That by her gnawing perish'd !

Of which the consequence

Was sudden corpulence.

A week or so was past,

When having fully broken fast,

A noise she heard, and hurried

To find the hole by which she came,

And seem'd to find it not the same ;

So round she ran, most sadly flurried ;

And, coming back, thrust out her head,

Which, sticking there, she said,

" This is the hole, there can't b~ blunder :

What makes it now so small, I wonder,

Where, but the other day, I pass'd with ease ? "

A rat her trouble sees,

And cries, " But with an emptier belly ;

You enter'd lean, and lean must sally."
