    - A Fable of Aesop

   One day, a great conflict was about to come off between the Birds and the Beasts in the jungle. When the two armies were collected together for the upcoming battle. But the Bat was hesitated which group to join.

   The Birds that passed his roost and said, “Come and join with us." But the Bat said, "I can’t join with you. Because, I am a Beast."


   Later on, some Beasts who were passing underneath him, they looked up and said, "Come with us." But the Bat said, "I am a Bird. How can I join with you?"



   Luckily at the last moment peace was made and no battle took place. So the Bat came to the Birds and wished to join in the delights. Then the all Birds turned against him and he had to fly away. He then went to the Beasts to join with them. Then the all Beasts turned against him and start to beat him. The Bat was retreat from that place or else they would have split him to pieces.
