<h2>THE FOWLER AND THE LARK</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Fowler was setting his nets for little birds when a Lark came
up to him and asked him what he was doing. "I am engaged in
founding a city," said he, and with that he withdrew to a short
distance and concealed himself. The Lark examined the nets with
great curiosity, and presently, catching sight of the bait, hopped
on to them in order to secure it, and became entangled in the
meshes. The Fowler then ran up quickly and captured her. "What a
fool I was!" said she: "but at any rate, if that's the kind of city
you are founding, it'll be a long time before you find fools enough
to fill it."</p>
