A LESSON FOR FOOLS

A crow sat in a tree holding in his beak a piece of meat that he had stolen. A fox
which saw him determined to get the meat. It stood under the tree and began to tell the crow
what a beautiful big bird he was. He ought to be the king of all birds, the fox said, and he
would undoubtedly have been made king, if only he had a voice as well. The crow was so
anxious to prove that he had a voice, that he dropped the meat and croaked for all he was
worth. Up ran the fox, snapped up the meat, and said to him, “If you added brains to all your
other qualifications, you would make an ideal king.”

MAN TURNS CANINE ON DOG

WELLINGTON — New Zealand police sent German shepherd dog Tama to tackle
an axe-wielding youth on Tuesday. but the offender’s teeth turned out as sharp as his
weapon.

Senior Sergeant Tim Castle said it was a case of “man bites dog” when police
found the youth smashing windows at a Wellington primary school. They sent Tama into
action after being threatened with the axe.

“when Constable Geoff Gwyn sent his German shepherd Tama in to find the
offender, [the dog] came back with half his ear missing,” Castle said.

A 17-year-old youth appeared in court charged with criminal damage, assault with
a weapon and cruelty to an animal. He was remanded in custody without making a plea.
