THE BIRDS waged war with the Beasts, and each were by turns the
conquerors.  A Bat, fearing the uncertain issues of the fight,
always fought on the side which he felt was the strongest.  When
peace was proclaimed, his deceitful conduct was apparent to both
combatants.  Therefore being condemned1 by each for his treachery,
he was driven forth2 from the light of day, and henceforth
concealed himself in dark hiding-places, flying always alone and
at night.


He winds up friendless who plays both sides against the middle
