A Serpent in the course of its wanderings came into an armourers shop. As he glided over the
floor he felt his skin pricked by a file lying there. In a rage he turned round upon it and tried to
dart his fangs into it; but he could do no harm to heavy iron and had soon to give over his wrath.
MORAL: Tis a madness to stand biting and snapping at any thing to no manner of purpose, more
then the gratifying of an impotent rage, in the fancy of hurting another, when in truth, we only
wound our selves.
