TWO GAME c*ckS were fiercely fighting for the mastery of the
farmyard. One at last put the other to flight. The vanquished
c*ck skulked away and hid himself in a quiet corner, while the
conqueror, flying up to a high wall, flapped his wings and crowed
exultingly with all his might. An Eagle sailing through the air
pounced upon him and carried him off in his talons. The
vanquished c*ck immediately came out of his corner, and ruled
henceforth with undisputed mastery.
Pride goes before destruction.
