The weasel in the granary coloring page

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."
