<h2>THE HAWK, THE KITE, AND THE PIGEONS</h2>
<br/>
<p>The Pigeons in a certain dovecote were persecuted by a Kite, who
every now and then swooped down and carried off one of their
number. So they invited a Hawk into the dovecote to defend them
against their enemy. But they soon repented of their folly: for the
Hawk killed more of them in a day than the Kite had done in a
year.</p>
