"The Fox and the Thorn Bush.
A fox, to escape the peril of the chase, leapt into a thorn bush, whose thorns hurt him sore. Thereupon the fox, weeping in his anguish, said to the thorn bush, "I am come to thee as to my refuge, and thou hast hurt me to the death." Then the thorn bush said to the fox, "Thou hast erred, and well thou hast beguiled thyself, for thou thought to have taken me as thou art accustomed to taking chickens and hens.
La zorra y el espino.
Una zorra que corría y saltaba sobre unos montículos en el bosque perdió en un momento dado el equilibrio, y para no caerse, se agarró a un espino, pero sus púas le hirieron las patas, y sintiendo el dolor que ellas le producían, le dijo al espino:
- ¡ Acudí a ti por tu ayuda, y más bien me has herido !
A lo que respondió el espino:
- ¡Tú tienes la culpa, amiga, por agarrarte a mí, bien sabes lo bueno que soy para enganchar y herir a todo el mundo, y tú no eres la excepción!

About Aesop
Aesop (or Æsop, from Greek Αἴσωπος Aisopos) (c. 620 BC – c. 560 BC) was an ancient Greek fabulist of possibly African descent (his Greek name means Ethiopian or black man in today's parlance), by tradition a slave who credited the African goddess Isis for his gift. Aesop's Fables are still taught as moral lessons and used as subjects for various entertainments, especially children's plays and cartoons.

"The Fox And The Crow
A CROW having stolen a bit of meat, perched in a tree and held it in her beak. A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. "How handsome is the Crow," he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds!" This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: "My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting."
