To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" So they went to law about it. But on the way they meet the Fox, who, having heard the dispute, says, he can decide it for them as well as any judge. " But I must first speak a word to each of you in private. " And first he spoke to the ploughman, " Give me a hen, and my wife another, and you shall have your oxen. ". "Agreed, " says the ploughman. Then he turns to the wolf, " My good friend, for your singular deserts my eloquence is bound to make every effort. I have so persuaded this country-... man that if you will let his oxen go scot free (quietos) he will give you a cheese (what natural history are not fabulists responsible for ! ) as big as a shield. " Then Brer Fox takes the deluded wolf off by a long and circuitous route to a well, which they reach by moonlight, shows him the reflec- tion of the half-moon in the well, and says, " There is your cheese, go down and eat it. " The wolfs cautious request that he, Brer Fox, should go down first, is the cue for the celebrated well and bucket trick, to which, moreover, the whole weight of the introductory moral (belonging by rights to "The Dog and His Shadow") is appended ; the rest of the story remaining as pointless as the descriptive part of a Virgilian simile.
