THE OXEN once upon a time sought to destroy the Butchers, who
practiced a trade destructive to their race. They a**embled on a
certain day to carry out their purpose, and sharpened their horns
for the contest. But one of them who was exceedingly old (for
many a field had he plowed) thus spoke: "These Butchers, it is
true, slaughter us, but they do so with sk**ful hands, and with
no unnecessary pain. If we get rid of them, we shall fall into
the hands of unsk**ful operators, and thus suffer a double
d**h: for you may be a**ured, that though all the Butchers
should perish, yet will men never want beef."
Do not be in a hurry to change one evil for another.
