Goatherd

"What a great shouting and running about there would have been had they caught me at just the very thing they are doing with so much enjoyment." Men often condemn others for what they see no wrong in doing themselves.

The Goatherd and the Goat.

A goat strayed away from the flock, tempted by a patch of clover.

The goatherd tried to call it back, but in vain.

Change of habit cannot alter nature.

Thirty-seven, The Goat and the Goatherd.

A Goatherd had sought to bring back a stray Goat to his flock.

He whistled and sounded his horn in vain: the straggler paid no attention to the summons.

At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master.

The Goat replied, “Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent.” Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.

Thirty-eight, The Miser.

But when Jupiter proposed to make him king because of the beauty of his plumage, the birds indignantly protested, and each plucked from him his own feathers, leaving the jackdaw nothing but a jackdaw.

Aesop's Fables.

The Goatherd and the Goat.

A goatherd was one day gathering his flock to return to the fold when one of his goats strayed and refused to join the rest.

He tried for a long time to get her to return by calling and whistling to her, but the goat took no notice of him at all.

In dismay he begged her not to tell his master, but she replied, You silly fellow, my horn will cry aloud even if I had my tongue.

It's no use trying to hide what can't be hidden.
