THE MOUSE, THE BIRD, AND THE SAUSAGE

Once upon a time, a mouse, a bird, and a sausage, entered into

partnership and set up house together. For a long time all went

well; they lived in great comfort, and prospered so far as to be

able to add considerably to their stores. The bird's duty was to

fly daily into the wood and bring in fuel; the mouse fetched the

water, and the sausage saw to the cooking.
