" The monkey immediately shook the tree on which he was seated. The boar ate the figs as fast as they fell down, and the tree was stripped in a moment. The boar begged his entertainer to climb another tree. The fruit of the second was devoured with the same avidity as the first had been. But the appetite of the boar did not seem to be satisfied, and he made a sign to the monkey to go up the third tree. "I have performed towards you, " said the monkey, " all that the laws of hospitality require ...THE MONKEY AND WILD BOAR. 41 of me, but it seems to me that you have not obeyed those of moderation. The fruits which you have eaten in a moment, would have been sufficient to nourish me for several months. If I obey you, I should find myself reduced to star- vation this winter. " " Kash fellow, " replied the boar, " it is very pretty in you to make me reproaches ; I order you henceforth to leave this forest, or you will feel the effects of my anger. " " It is unjust, " replied the monkey, " to take possession of the property of another.
