A HART, hard pressed in the chase, hid himself beneath the large
leaves of a Vine. The huntsmen, in their haste, overshot the
place of his concealment¹. Supposing all danger to have passed,
the Hart began to nibble² the tendrils of the Vine. One of the
huntsmen, attracted by the rustling³ of the leaves, looked back,
and seeing the Hart, shot an arrow from his bow and struck it.
The Hart, at the point of death, groaned: "I am rightly served,
for I should not have maltreated the Vine that saved me."
