<h2>THE SNAKE AND JUPITER</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Snake suffered a good deal from being constantly trodden upon
by man and beast, owing partly to the length of his body and partly
to his being unable to raise himself above the surface of the
ground: so he went and complained to Jupiter about the risks to
which he was exposed. But Jupiter had little sympathy for him. "I
dare say," said he, "that if you had bitten the first that trod on
you, the others would have taken more trouble to look where they
put their feet."</p>
