A
fox was boasting to a cat of its clever devices for escaping its enemies.
"I
have a whole bag of tricks," he said, "which contains a hundred ways
of escaping my enemies."
"I
have only one," said the cat. "But I can generally manage with
that."
Just
at that moment they heard the cry of a pack of hounds coming towards them, and
the cat immediately scampered up a tree and hid herself in the boughs.
