Capitolo 4
you so simply teach more clearly the the truths without turning men into piece from chess.
We cannot speak of so simple things without using animals that do
you don't speak at all. Supposes, for a moment, that you turn the wolf in a
baron of wolfish or the fox in an astute diplomatist. You immediately want
you remember that barons equal human beings, you will be incapable to forget
those equal diplomatistses are men. You will always look for that
accidental good-humour that should go with the brutality of some brutal
man; for that check for all the delicate things, included the virtue,
that should exist in some good diplomatist. Once puts a thing two

But using animals in this austere and arbitrary style as them I am
used on the shields of the heraldry or the hieroglyphics of the venerable old men,

ropes that you/he/she can hold a lion; what an a fox that draws the most greater part from an apartment
dish can easily go out the less from a deep dish; what a the crow that the
of the prevent to sing, the of the provide nevertheless with cheese; that
when the goat insults from a mountain-top you/he/she is not the goat that
